What belts for 748s

[Jon]

Been a long time since I posted on here so hope all you guys are ok.

I have been looking for some cheap genuine timing belts for a 2002 748s
Ducati say 737.4.010.3B I have been told 737.1.044.1A are an exact replacment. Can anyone throw some light on the subject.

Thx Kev, some how I just knew it would be you that would reply to my post.
Many thanks Kev quality reply.

Kev the bike is my brother's which is one of those late grey coloured ones with the strange finish
What do you mean by stepped head ?

On Later bikes the exhaust cam sat slightly lower than the inlet cam, mainly done as a redesign to fit the 916 engine in the Monster S4 and then the ST4, so a new casting was done and the belts went from 95 teeth to 93 teeth

in the attached pic you can see the difference in height of the cams
