So my dealer wants $88.82 per belt... motowheels and CAcycleworks both don't stock... the problem is the 2002 uses a belt that none of the other 748's use... so anyone have any ideas where might stock them for a reasonable price? Cheers!

You'll find it at Desmotimes, but not a lot less expensive as at the official dealer.
(164 $ the set).

desmotimes it is... weird how few places sell these things yet we all need them all the time. Look for slip-ons, which you need once (hopefully) and you find a million places selling them! hmmm... time to call a buddy in China for a business venture.

ca cycles don't have 'em?
Can you try contacting them?
They didn't have the set for my 996, but I contacted them and they were able to hook me up. I think I paid $60 for a set, then I got the flange nuts too.

FYI: We updated our inventory and we have a complete service kit in stock (last one) for 748 (2002) only .

Keep in mind that an $88 belt is far cheaper than even 1 bent valve.

I don't mind paying it... I'm just trying to find the best deal out there! Surprised there is not someone making aftermarket.

Look for Bucci belts. My understanding is they're that the same manufacturer (or at least quality) of the OEM belts. You still want red lettering.
