Any problems noted with thinner final belt?

Noted the thinner final belt on the 06-07's with the wide tire. Has anyone had issues with breakage or stretching? I'm guessing no major concern on a stock motor. But what about after cams, big bore kits, etc... ?

The new belt is made of Kevlar. According to my dealer, the thinner kevlar belt is still stronger than the wider rubber belt.

My wife's Screaming Eagle Fatboy with the 103 has the thin belt and no problems thus far...I also was told they have kevlar in them...
