Going to replace the belt after 10400 miles on the original. When I saw the price of the 550 OEM I had to get out the oxygen for a minute or two. Since this is now my back up to the 570 has anybody used a belt other than OEM. I just do not want to spend a ton on a belt on a machine that will not be ridden like it use to be. I looked on Fleabay and it looks like Gates has the best prices of them all. I know OEM is the way to go but like I said this will only be a backup machine. Highlifter, EPI and OEM are all over a 100 bucks.
