Harmonic balancer wobbling

I have a 05 vert. Well the harmonic balancer is wobbling and the belt is squealing. Since everything has to come down to pin the old one and tighten it. I figured going with a under drive pulley while I was at it.

Anyone have a favorite pulley or they mostly the same? Any help is most welcomed.

I was in a blues band and our Harmonica player was wobbling once...

We just cut him off from the bar tab.

I think you mean HARMONIC balancer...

"I'm kinda new to the harp, too, and the warble give me more trouble than any other technique (except those impossible overblows and overdraws). "

My C6 is in the shop getting a new "proform" harmonic balancer,,I think that was the brand anyway.. Supposedly this part is specifically made for high performance engines so I hope this is the last time I ever see it wobbling. Anyone heard anything about this brand before??
Cheers everybody!!!
