Even though I would want to see a launch I want to buy one as soon as they are available as it will be going on my 813. I've already said I thought it was a good idea even if it is on the tension side. I also don't want to adjust a belt by moving a water pump. Now that is a stupid design...
Actually I was thinking about that but I'm killing time while a 2 gigabyte virtual machine image uploads to one of virtual hosts so I can how it performs on analyzing our netflow data.
Minute 30 to go..........

Moot point, all you have to do is look at the fan pulley which is amazingly enough attached to the fan. The new idle pulley is on the tension side of the belt.
After talking to Doghead on the phone just now I realize I was wrong. The belt in this case is not driven at the fan/engine side it is being driven by the left side of the picture. Doghead's annotated white drawing is correct. The new pulley is on the tension side.
While still a good mod and...
You pull a belt, that's the tension side. The tension side is the bottom as the engine is pulling the belt. The idler is on the slack side.
This looks to be a good mod.
