Description
Exactfit Brand aftermarket reinforced belts. Exactfit belts designed in the USA to be identical to expensive OEM Gates belts, but at a fraction of the cost of OEM belts.
NOTE: Unless the variant you need indicates “out of stock” they’re in stock. If out of stock it usually means Exactfit is out of stock and I’m awaiting a resupply. I have no control over stockouts and don’t provide time estimates for stockouts because I don’t control the manufacturing.

FAQ
Question: LT, I’m nervous about using aftermarket belts on my Ducati. Would you recommend against their use?
Answer: I first used first Bucci brand aftermarket belts and then Exactfit brand on my Ducs for decades, and have never heard of a single belt failure when replaced at recommended intervals. I’d use an aftermarket belt any day over the expensive OEM Gates belts. If a belt breaks, it isn’t the belt’s fault. Either an idler wheel bearing seized, they were improperly installed or owners stretched the replacement interval far beyond Ducati’s recommendations.
NOTE1: Price is for a SET of 2 timing belts
NOTE2: The ST4, ST4S and later editions of the 748 and 996 motor used what’s called the ST Head, which had valve covers for the intake/exhaust that were almost identical in size. The earlier 748 and 996 models had exhaust valve covers that were much larger than the intake. Look at your head to determine. If the exhaust valve cover is much larger order the 6g belts. If the intake and exhaust valve covers are almost the same size order the 6h belts.
NOTE3: I do not stock belts for the 748R. It takes a one-off design belt that was only used for that model.
NOTE4: If you own a desmoquattro, don’t forget to get a set of fuju locknuts for the belt eccentric. They are single-use locknuts.
