Have you looked around for more pullies for it? Perhaps with different back spacing?

Have you looked into shimming it a bit to see if it will align it??

I see know reason not to call whipple and ask them about it, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

Try the truck section of this forum. There is a lot of useful info to be had. BTW, getting actual help from whipple will probably be about as much fun as jacking off with sandpaper.
