Look for an Gates (no Bill) reseller. if you bring the old belts in, they can select the Gates replacement.
tomorrow I'll look for the type and let you know.
Gates belts are as good as OEM.

Gates makes JUST those original 900cc belts to Ducati. Need only to take numbers from original belts and visit good car spare part shop... They are also quite cheap, cheaper, that from Ducati dealer, so if You dont have any other problems, Your problems are very small ones....

You won't believe in, but once pirelli did them. I happened to find them as a Cagiva oem part installed both on dukess and in smooth!
Anyway, finnpaso is right, nowadays, only Gates produces them... and it's a very good brand!

I promissed to give you the number of the belt.
The belt says: Gates, type: Powergrip HTD 5332-58095 X 17 mm (belt is 17 mm wide)
Goodluck with your search for the belts.
