Cam Chain Tensioner B

Post by Darrell »

Hello!
As you can see from this photo, my Cam Chain Tensioner B is cracked. I imagine this is a good time to replace or repair it. I understand the V&H solution, but it's outside of my budget. Any other suggestions?

You can pretty much rule out the Vince Hyde 'solution'. Very fiddly to install, machining required and even more fiddly to adjust the camchains down the road. Look into the reproductions/rebuilt tensioners offered by various vendors.
