    I have been doing a heap of research and the local bike shop looked so confused about just getting parts for me,so Im looking for some one who has done the conversion before.

    Im still riding with my dodgy belt as the hole is in the center but just keeping wheel stands down to a minimum!
    If you don't do wheel stands you won't run through belts, the belt isn't made to handle the power all at once required for a wheel stand.

    Bullshit. Belts handle wheelies just fine.
