I did the short belt modification at 70,000 miles on my 1998 900SET.
I bypassed the lower idler pulley using a Goodyear Gatorback #4060967, 6PK2455 belt. I have had no problems whatso ever with the short belt modification. The upper idler pulley will still need to be replaced every 30,000 miles to 60,000 miles a the ball bearing will wear out. At 105,000 miles, I replaced the upper idler pulley with an aluminum billet pulley from Wazeepulleys.com featuring a replaceable heavy duty bearing, along with a new serpentine belt.
