I just read the Lehman uses a belt drive! Do they replace the Honda shaft drive with a belt?
I'm shocked, and hope I just didn't understand what I was looking at.

Never seen a Lehman conversion with a belt drive.
Where did you read this? What bike was it done on?

I have a Lehman and it is shaft drive. I don't know what model or bike conversion includes a belt drive other than Harley and not sure if it is used in a trike. It deserves research.
Here's what I read. But, rereading it this morning I noticed they mention the various HD models. What I read last night was the beginning where it made a general statement about the belt drive on your Lehman.
The document is here: http://lehmantrikes.com/img/techbook_master.pdf
"The belt drive system on your Lehman Trike includes a carrier assembly located in the rear differential housing. Greasing
the carrier at regular service intervals is recommended for prolonged service life. Lack of regular maintenance can affect
the safe operation of your trike.
NOTE: RAISING THE REAR PORTION OF THE TRIKE REQUIRES THE USE A FLOOR JACK AND TWO JACK STANDS.
1. Center a floor jack under the differential carrier housing.
2. Place jack stands under the left and right rear axles.
3. Raise the trike to a safe working height.
4. Adjust jack stands to support left and right rear axles.
NOTE: ON STORM AND RENEGADE MODELS (TOURING, SOFTAIL
AND DYNA), THE GREASE FITTING IS LOCATED IN THE CENTER SECTION ON THE RH SIDE OF THE HOUSING. FOR RAIDER,
CROSSBOW AND PITBOSS MODELS, THE FITTING IS LOCATED
ON THE LH SIDE.
5. Remove the red rubber plug (if applicable) from the RH or
LH center section on the differential housing.
6. Place the transmission in neutral. Roll the rear wheels
slowly and locate the grease fitting on the carrier.
7. Using a standard automotive style grease gun with a
straight fitting and a high quality EP (extreme pressure)
grease, add roughly one pump per 1000 miles of riding. Do
not over grease the carrier."
