It is showing no signs of ware but just doing this so that I have one as an extra I can bring with me when I go on long rides in Tenn with the wife.

Don,t fool youself just because the belt look good a belt change is a good idea after awhile.
I changed my orginal belt after 250 hr even through it looked good and behaved decent. When I changed the belt the ATV grabs instantly in high range and tries to jerk up the front end,the ATV use to top out at 53 mph now it gets closer to 60! Its the best $80 I spent on the machine.
I stayed with a Polaris belt hoping it would last as long as the oringinal OEM did. I heard of some aftermarket Gator belt horror stories on this site,use "search" and read about them.

You gotta be kiddin' me SP70003, the snowmobile racers swear by them, I ran them on my Scrammy 400 4x4's and outlasted and OEM belt the POO has. If anything the Poo brand (Carlisle)is the junk belt in the stable
