that is one of the things i want to do in the next few weeks

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
WHERE SHOULD I GET MY BELT TENSIONER FROM

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.

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.
