| Use OEM, I would suggest your local Honda dealer----make sure you ask for retail or his best price. |

| Using the OEM part number for the belt, check with any of these sites. They all supply OEM Honda parts so it's just a matter of comparing their prices PowersportsPlus.com, ServiceHonda.com, Hdlparts.comand shipping charges to see who's got the best deal for you. |

| Get price offers but still use local dealer----you need him to stay in business. As long time rider, I feel you need dealer at times. All this internet stuff hard on business. If I were in bike business, sombody brings tire/belt bought elsewhere (just to save a buck) I would stick it to you in the shop time.------Do lots of riding---25-40,000 miles a year, you find many times you need authorized dealer, hoping one is still in business where you are stuck. |

Very true, but often the dealers try to "stick it to you", especially if you're not wearing any underwear. It only hurts till the bright red bleeding stops. |

It only hurts till the bright red bleeding stops. I don't want to know how you know that! Cheers, |

| Old Sloppy. I recently put a new belt on my swing. The Honda dealer wanted £141 I think that converts to nearly$200. I got one from WWW Wemoto.com for £74. It is not the genuine Honda belt, but I've now done 3,000mls on it and as far as i know it is okay. My intention, when i get to the next service(which for me will be 24,000ml) is to check the belt again and to put Dr Pulley sliders in, as well as the normal service at that mileage  My bike is an 07 model. |

Didn't Tim Robbins character say that in "The Shawshank Redemption" ?  |
