Can the Unorthodox pulley?

Can the Unorthodox pulley be used with the Greddy pulley set?
Is it worth it?

sure but maybe the belt won't fit anymore, you might need an other size. I don't know if the unorthodox is smaller or just lighter. If it is the same size, the belt should be ok.

They claim 16 HP on their site, i doubt that but there might be a possibility to pick 5-8 HP and they look cool if you take it blue to go with the greddy kit.

I don't know if its a good idea to mix the two. Chances are you will be underdriving the accessories (water pump and alternator) too much and they may not work properly.

Yeah I have that same combo on my 93 R1. Even at idle, my battery voltage shows about 14.1-14.2 V according to the PowerFC Commander.

I can't speak much about the water pump speed because it is cold out now where I live.

As for belts...

I used a Goodyear 4060290 belt. THIS BELT HAS 6 RIBS. This means you need to cut one off with a pair of scissors. Not hard.

I think that Max Cooper's website also lists a 5 rib Gates brand belt that works.
