So I just ordered an open belt drive for my project, but I’m just curious if anyone here has experience with running a dry clutch on a bike. I’ve read so many different opinions online that I thought I would ask for some more.

What did you notice if anything between a wet clutch and a dry one?  
Is this something you recommend or not? Why?

I understand the actual difference but it seems like there is no definitive answer as to why or why not to run a dry clutch on a cruiser style bike. I’m just doing it for the “cool” factor(if I actually install it at all)
