Does any one happen to know if Malossi makes a belt for the MP3 500ie?
(Se uno qualsiasi capita di sapere se Malossi rende una cintura per MP3 500ie?)

OEM belt for the 500 is GBP34.03 ex VAT (GPB39.13 inc) over here - less than USD50. The Malossi one costs considerably more, and there are stories of them having very early failures.

As it can't cost much more in shipping to get them to the States, I'm saddened that Piaggio USA hasn't reduced their prices too.
