I've not got previous belt history but I can say I'm still running with the HD belt that came on my 07 ultra and its still in good shape

if you keep up the correct tension/ maintenance of it the cost of the HD belt is worth the price.

One of the biggest problems that can contribute to belt failure ( other then something foreign damaging it) is when the rear tire is changed at a shop and they don't tension the deflection correctly mainly too loose the belt can snap under load to tight will cause another issues.

So really no mater what belt you go with if its not set to correct deflection tension and running true  it won't last.

There's guys that have got as much as a hundred thousand miles on there belts and still going

Is there a particular reason you're asking?

I somehow stripped about 10 teeth off in one spot. Full disclosure, I have 130/135 built 117 and aint afraid to use it!  ;D I am giving a new belt one more chance and then it will be a chain conversion.

Having about 10 cogs stripped off I'd say that happened at the transmission pulley.

Make a good check on both the transmission cogs and the rear wheel belt pulley. If they're all good check the old belt for damage as described in the link (Drive Belt Check)

Be sure the Deflection of the belt is correct for your bike. If you have a manual it'll be in there.

Here's a chart it may cover yours shouldn't think the years would make any difference.
