For your consideration
Before you just bolt something on, consider another alternative. The belt is intended to be adjusted by using a Gates sonic meter. Either choose to buy one or get a smart phone app that will do the same thing and make sure that a correctly adjusted belt needs a tensioner before you buy one. I bought a Gates meter and use it about twice a year. This, for me, has taken care of the vibrations so far. If this doesn't take care of the vibration for you, choose a tensioner and bolt it on.

What smart phone app? The Gates meter is really expensive.

Not that long ago someone linked to an app for a smartphone that could be used when checking belt tension. Some have tried it and say it works fine. I'm too lazy to look for that thread right now. Maybe later.
I found it:

I have a SmoothSpyder Belt Tensioner. I had it on my 2013 RTL and transferred it to my 2014 RTL. It works like a charm.
