Hey guys,
So for the last couple of days I noticed that the tensioner that came with the Whipple was giving up on me. Stretching belts to the point of no return, throwing them, squealing....etc. However, I resolved all these symptoms by simply getting the Magnacharger HD Tensioner Part# 31-12-00-082 and it is a direct replacement. (I got an additional bracket and water neck replacement just in case but turns out I only needed the tensioner!

Please note that I am running Innovators West 8-rib conversion and the pulley that comes with it is 8 rib. I'm pretty sure you could easily swap it out for a 6 rib.
Hope this helps the plethora of guys I saw around here with their belt issues.
