Does anyone know the distance from center of front output shaft to center of rear axle?

That's based on where the eccentric chain tensioner positions the axle.  It's variable.
From parts unknown.

I guess I will get out the tape measure when I get home then.

Why....
Because I think it would look nice with a belt drive.

belt drive won't like the amount of rear wheel travel or the variation in the distance of the c/l's as the suspension moves

not to mention that there probably isn't enuff room between the hub and swingarm to mount a belt drive pulley. and there certainly isnt enuff room under the sprocket cover.
