929 CCT.....mod or aftermarket??
OK guys/gals, I have this dilema. I have been researching my bike since before I bought it and this is one thing that constantly comes up about them.......Replace the CCT before it lets go and ruins the head. I have no noise in the engine at present but I also don't want to worry with it when it's nice and warm out when I could be riding instead of wrenching. I have heard buy the APE, buy the APE, buy the APE, and so on. I have also seen and heard about this:

I have worked on bikes before on my own and helping others out and to be honest, other than being completely jammed into a very tight frame, they are basicaly a four cylinder car engine (I guess you could say that a car engine was really a bike engine in disguise ). Really though, I have heard guys put down the bolt in the stock tensioner method, but to me that just seems logical and like something that I would do. I also think that it would work very well with no future problems because of the addition. If you look at the APE tensioner, it's nothing more than a damn bolt with a machined head on it that is smooth and flat, two nuts an o-ring and a billet block. Now I know it's only $50 for one from APE but that's $50 I could put towards something else if I fixed it with the bolt method described above. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and any and all input that you have, especially if you have done this mod, or one of this type before.
