Harley uses a belt instead of a chain because chains are messy, need constant adjustment, wear out sprockets and have a relatively short service life.
A belt on the other hand is clean, rarely needs adjustment, is easy on sprockets and has a very long service life. 100,000 miles or more from a belt is very common.
Harley chose not to use shaft drive because it is inefficient in that it robs power from the bike due to friction.

What are the uses of a belt drive?
A belt drive is an alternative to a chain drive (as you would normally find on a bicycle or motorcycle). There are several types of belt used in belt drive systems including V-belts and toothed belts. The more common is the V-belt. A cross section of the pulley used shows that the belt runs in a V-shaped groove. Washing machines, older cars, and machinery use this type of belt system. The toothed belt is normally wide and flat with teeth on the inside to prevent slippage. Harley Davidson motorcycles use these, as do super-charged engines in cars.
