The new belts have no service interval. They're "lifetime" belts. They can and do break, but it's a crapshoot as to when it will happen.

Call up Gates in Lansing, MI and see if they can provide the belt. Gates makes the best belts in the world and may even make that belt anyway.

But seriously, newer belts last forever, unless you're putting down too much power or they ingest something (seen this before).

Or be a normal guy and do what Trip said.

I think I remember reading somewhere that the buell belt was a standard size for some industrial application or some shit... so while you may not be able to find one that has 'buell' stamped on it, you should be able to find one forever... Take that with a grain of salt though because after typing that, I kinda feel like maybe I just made that up in my head...

American Sport Bike carries them. When I blew my belt on the 1125, I picked up a new one from Lake of the Ozarks HD on my way by, then ordered one from ASB as a spare. Should be good for another 30+k now.
