I would stick with the OEM belt if you got 35k out of it that is pretty darn good.

You could buy it from ASB for $175 + about $50 for shipping to OZ.

Would save you about $50.

I'd say stick with the o.e. belt, the new belts are made better now. You don't want to find a cheaper route and end up stranded. I've been the captain of belt breakology and most have been my fault! I could only imagine if I were using a belt not made for the bike.

I'm about to just change mine to chain drive. I've gone through 4 belts in the passed year and a half

think i would go to chain conversion if i was that unlucky......problem is though how do you adjust the chain when you get strech????

you slot the idler pulley so you can adjust it up and down.
