This is an Iron Head forum, but since we've went this far.....

I dug up TSB M-819. During the '81 model year HD did put a modified inner primary on the FXB. My buddies was an '80, and wasn't made like this. That's where my info / experience came from. So the correct answer is yes, only the later '81 models had the adjustable belt feature.

Yes I was thinking that myself. Almost started a thread in the Shovelhead section "FXB Adjustable Belt", and in the text, send them to this topic!

So they added the adustability probably because on some bikes they couldn't get the belt on! And finally said screw this noise, back to the tried and true chain.
