Default Drive Belt

I have an 08 fatboy with 11800 miles on it.&nbsp\\; For the last 6000 miles I have been riding on a set of Renegade custom wheels, rotors, and pully.&nbsp\\; On wednesday I was stranded 45 miles west of Albuquerque NM because the teeth on my drive belt were shreeded off.&nbsp\\; Has anyone had this problem before?&nbsp\\; What would cause this to happen?&nbsp\\; According to the local stealership it was the rear pully because it was not a harley pully and they said that the teeth on the rear pully were sharp.&nbsp\\; I rode this bike for over 6000 miles with no failure.&nbsp\\; I also rode it home for a 1000miles with a new belt with no failure.&nbsp\\; According to the stealership they said that it will happen again but that they could not predict when it will happen again.&nbsp\\; I am calling bullS**t on this.&nbsp\\; I will get into it later about how the stealership screwed me royally later.&nbsp\\; I ran my hand on the teeth of the custom pully and nothing flet sharp to me, I compared it with the stock pully for my 08 Fatboy and they felt the same.&nbsp\\; Am I loosing my mind or does the stealership think that anything that does not say Harley Davidson is not worth a crap.&nbsp\\; I need some advice. Thanks guys and girls

Maybe that belt was to tight for all those miles and the excess heat made it hard and brittle. Alowing the teeth to crack
