Can someone send me a link to where I can purchase the exact size belt for my 2008 xb12r Buell Firebolt?

nothing worse than ordering up what you "think" will work or what you've been told will work. it's simple:
measure the width of your existing belt and count the teeth. takes 5 minutes and precludes ordering up the wrong belt.

You're welcome:

All XB's past 03 (except 'long' models) use a 1 1/8" (1.125) wide belt with a 14mm pitch and 128 teeth.
Little known fact: it's the same belt used on a 91(?) to 03 Sportster. So any dealer that tells you they can't get a belt for a Buell XB is either ignorant (most likely) or lying because they don't want to deal with Buells (could happen but is unlikely).

I ran into exactly this from the local Harley dealer. "The belt is no longer available". Bull****. Drag Spacialties stocks a BDL (Belt Drive Limited) belt. BDL 1/18 128 is the number you're looking for. like Captain Chaos said 1/18 wide 14mm pitch 128 teeth. I ordered mine from Parts Canada, had it in under 48 hours $180 Canadian. Good luck.
