Default 800 chain to belt conversion

I know scootworks sells kits that do this, but I found a site that says how to build it yourself:

VULCAN 800 D.V. BELT DRIVE SYSTEM

That is for the vulcan 800, but I bet that it is a similar job for many such bikes (like my marauder), and it costs about the same as a new chain+sprockets set.

The only downside is the time, the work, and some of the special skills/machining.
