Well I finally bit the bullet and purchased a belt tensioner from Jim @ Smooth Spyder. Wow, what a difference that makes in removing all of the harmonics from your driveline. Jim's website name says it all.
I seem to be spatialy challenged when it comes to figuring out how something is supposed to mount. I did however finally get the orientation correct. What a beautifully engineered piece of equipment.
I am well pleased; just should have done this about 48,000 miles ago. Jim makes tensioners for all the model lines. So when I eventually trade up to a F-3 or an RT I will be able to take care of the harmonics early on rather than later.
Jim is a pleasure to work with, always kind of word and patient with your myriad idiotic questions. Another of the good guys to purchase your desired farkles from. Check him out. And no he didn't pay me to say this.

Myself, when I have the side cover off mine next, I am planning on taking my dampener off to see if I can live without it! I like keeping it stupid simple, and take out the things that may interfere with a good ride! I can live with a little vibration, but I can't ride if the belts rip up because the little wheel blew up! Stupid simple!!
I come from a family who rode old Harley's back in the day, now that's vibration in my book!!
