Subject says it all. Anyone know of a good quality usa made kevlar belt for 50cc scoots?
I prefer usa made, but anything better than the china belts and name-brand knockoffs on ebay will work.

Good luck on your quest. I don't know if anything is made here at home anymore. That being said.....I have no problem putting a 'Made in China' belt on my Chinese made, 150cc scooter. My last Gates Premium had that stamped on it, and I ran it 6,800 trouble free miles. No fraying, no cracks, but had lost a couple of millimeters in width. Replaced it with another just like it....stamped 'Made in China' also, and it has now run something over 4,600 miles....still looks good.
I know there's a lot of crap that comes from there, but not everything produced in China deserves that label.

Being from a manufacturing background myself I just prefer to support american jobs whenever possible. Im not saying everything fron china is garbage. On the contrary. They have a booming and emerging manufacturing industry there that is slowly becoming decent. With that said, anyone know anythibg of the red DLH "racing" belts? |

Bando is a Japanese company with 17 plants in 15 countries, so take your pick.

Thanks for your update.
Like I said earlier, "I don't know if anything is made here at home anymore". Well, except maybe burgers, and even then, it's more than likely imported meat.
Hope you are as satisfied with your purchase as I've been with the two Chinese produced belts I've run.
