Cb550 cam chain tensioner: unobtainium?
« on: February 08, 2014, 10:41:12 AM »
Been checking around and for the unit people want $260+ for a new one.. Anyone got a line on one that isn't worth it's weight in gold?

David Silver has it for $213.12 + $17.00 shipping. Other option is to wait for one to show up on ebay.

$230 isn't much better than $260  ;D I'll keep an eye on eBay, those ones seem to be the priciest right now. Thanks for the tip though, I forgot about DSS!
