Try one of these. Not sure exactly which one you need. Not real familiar with belts and number of teeth and such. I know some guys on here is using the carbon fiber one on their lightnings and firebolts. Hope this helps.

To my understanding Ss, STT, X & XT belts are the same P/N G0500.1AKF for genuine.

And if you can't find them locally I'm sure Pete could post one out to you http://www.srwmoto.com.au/product/1235-genuine-drive-belt-for-xb-and-1125

Some info showing alternates to the genuine ones in these Google searches, might be easier for you to pick one up in NZ https://www.google.com.au/search?q=...badweatherbikers.com&rlz=1C1ASUT_enAU462AU462

No 05 uly, it was probably a production date of 05.

YES all long chassis belts will fit!

Do you need one now? I could pull my belt off my bike which has a small chip in it. I planned to use it as a spare at 30k when I put my new belt on... Used one has done hundreds of wheelies, lots of gravel road and a few high speed runs but no issues as of now...

I don't understand why is this a big deal. HD dealer will give you correct, up to date belt specific to your VIN.
keep it simple, just go to your dealer

I believe DrogeN Omen lives in New Zealand and the belts are in the $300+ price range and/or very hard to come by so a cheaper and/or easier to obtain belt that will do the same job is not a bad idea.

Some info on aftermarket belts here. (ADVRider thread).

yeah I'm in NZ, cost for a belt from HD Dealer is $350+ shipping if they don't have it in stock.

if i need it fitted its an extra $150 (lucky i can fit it myself) so quickly turns into a $500+ belt replacement...

www.americansportbike.com charge $414.96NZD shipped to NZ

www.srwmoto.com.au charge $294.34NZD shipped to NZ [up] I'll go with Peter from SRWMoto i think.

You can try Belt Drives Ltd http://www.beltdrives.com they have a distributor in NZ. Haven't used them personally but some in here have.

Another source just in case: Amazon. There are some on BadWeb who have had success with aftermarket belts found there.

well in that case, why not try HD dealer
if it makes you feel better I drive Australian Holden Monaro and Ausie parts are pretty expensive in the USA
please excuse my ignorance
