I personally think belt drives are better than chain drives because belts won't squeak after a few years. I'm still looking for just a belt that I attach to my pedal so it'll be cheaper.
Belt Drive
It is chain drive.
A 2003 sportster has a chain drive for the promary, firm the engine to the transmission, and a belt drive final drive. The final drive is from the transmission to the rear wheel.
To convert a chain drive to a belt drive system, you will need to remove the existing chain and sprockets, and replace them with a belt and pulleys. Ensure that the new belt and pulleys are compatible with your system and properly aligned for efficient operation. Make any necessary adjustments to tension and alignment to ensure smooth and reliable performance of the belt drive system.

Converting a chain drive bicycle to a belt drive system involves replacing the chain with a belt drive system that uses a toothed belt instead. This typically requires changing the sprockets and pulleys to accommodate the belt, as well as ensuring proper alignment and tension for the new belt drive system. It is important to choose compatible components and follow manufacturer instructions for installation to ensure proper functioning of the belt drive system on your bicycle.
AnswerHere's a good write-up:Chain
Belt drive is quieter, but can be damaged by stones caught between belt and sprocket.
A belt drive on a bike uses a toothed belt to transfer power from the pedals to the rear wheel, while a chain drive uses a metal chain. Belt drives are typically quieter, cleaner, and require less maintenance than chain drives. However, chain drives are more common and easier to find replacement parts for. If you prioritize low maintenance and a quiet ride, a belt drive may be more suitable for your needs.
Chain drive, Belt drive and Gear drive.
A chain drive on a bike uses metal links to transfer power from the pedals to the wheels, providing a more efficient and durable option. In contrast, a belt drive uses a rubber belt to transfer power, which is quieter and requires less maintenance but may not be as efficient or durable as a chain drive.
Which belt? There is no cam belt it's chain drive. Cheers robbo
