| I've have run this on my SW600 for over a year(paid $85), don't need a belt, but could not pass up this deal. Not pushing the brand but everything I read so far about them is good and I don't see any issues with wear or dust with mine.
They will go fast IMO... Sorry copy and paste to your browser, 1st is ebay, 2nd is Belt info PDF.

| I'm using same belt but not many miles this last Summer 3k but it, worked fine. Paid $85 also. Belt seemed a bit shorter or wider had a little bit of trouble starting Variator bolt but could have been me. Running 24G sliders and no V light or issues. |

| I just ordered one as well. But I got all dick-fingered and used the wrong account when checking out. What a PITA it is trying to resolve my mistake with eBay. Now I’ve got to get the merchant to cancel the original order and wait a couple of days to see if that all worked out before I reorder using the correct payment method. Sheesh! |

| I tried copy and paste again on that ebay link using two different browsers and still it goes to an Erlandson belt. I even tried with my VPN turned off. What can I be doing incorrectly? |

| Google says that Erlandson evolved to G Boost. Same part # from either source. So maybe the sale is NOS Erlandson. |

| From my experience Erlandson Tech+ Gboost Tech is the same, doing a search for either will get you https://www.gboosttechnology.com/ The pic in post above is exactly what I received in the mail from the Ebay add yesterday, exactly the same belt packaging as my previous purchase from same buyer, I also have replaced several on Majesty 400 years ago, same packaging. Yes they are likely NOS, but rubber parts can have a self life up to 6yrs + usable life, IAC these belts are very durable, there's guys running around with 10+ years on oem belts and call them good, because they have not reached replacement mileage, go thousands of miles over, etc., without failures. IAC the ebay link is correct, only one left !! https://www.ebay.com/itm/383317792599? |

Belt seemed a bit shorter or wider had a little bit of trouble starting Variator bolt but could have been me. Running 24G sliders and no V light or issues. I had the belt length checked/compared to oem at local Auto Parts, with belt measuring tool, hard to see a difference, it is wider, should last longer ?? |

| Based on over 400,000 maxi scooter miles since 1990----OEM, even at more cost, I think work out better---had 11 new maxi scooters in that time. I leave drive lines stock, hate walking and you can get into a lot of expense with broken belt on trip, period. I stick with what really works....do not ride a lot, try anything that fits. I always carry spare belt....knowing dealers will not have one in stock when you need it. |

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DX8AVP0?psc=1&smid=A37XXUG3ZCSOX0&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp Well like a lot of Amazon listings is missing the application info , only this on description " ERLANDSON GBOOST KEVLAR SCOOTER BELT DBHOMCT" , the last set of letters are the SW600 P/N, BTW Erlandson Tech. markets the belt as "G Boost"/ "Bad Ass", but I strongly believe is made by Bando to Erlandson specs, My 1st one, has been working fine for aprox. 3K |

| well well I've been telling swing riders about Erlandson belts and now folks are coming around. I've installed three of these belts on three different swings ; a little stiff mounting so you have to keep turning the pulley till pulley is tight at center. Very little dust shows up after a couple thousand miles (wear). |

That's good news. Hopefully they send a good belt and not a fake. |

| Just out of curiosity, did anyone notice any directional arrows on their GBoost belt?
I could not find any arrows whatsoever when I installed mine, so I just installed it with the writing facing up and readable. |

| If there is no direction arrow install with reading on belt up and you can read it. Sound what you did correct to me. |
