Default Attention whipple crew!

Whipple has a new supplier. If you don't recognize who makes this part, I'll give you a hint: It's the best tensioner you can buy and the only one I'd ever recommend.

I don't know any of the specific on it, or whether it is included with the whipple or a separate item. All I know is that whipple was so impressed with the Thump_rrr design that they decided to begin carrying his product.

IMO, with the price increase, whipple should include the thumprrr tensioner and 8 rib kit to balance out the 1K mark up.

The price on this tensioner is bound to drop with whipple on board. As production goes up, price should go down. The $350 price tag is hard to swallow when my stock tensioner has been flawless for 12,000 miles, but it does look sweet!
