Folks, I've completed recently a track day and a full race with Messner camchain tensioner, everything's good!
Revving from 7000 to 11000 rpm without any problems :-)

Thanks Ricc!

I took a liberty of putting your flyby video on racetrack on youtube from this weekend race ;)

Update: I went for a complete oil change, which included the removal of the oil pan.
Zero sign of wear from any component, including obviously the tensioner :-)
Approved with flying colours for me!

For those who have problem installing cam tensioner because of increased OD of sleeve for bigger bores I will make special roller pin
in two parts. This will solve the problem of fitting the roller pin when increased OD of sleeves don't allow insertion.

For those who have all ready bought cam tensioner they will get it for free... Just ping me.

please when ordering cam tensioner tell me if you are using bigger sleeve

I will ship this first week of October.

...But people with Dynoman sleeves for 915cc managed to put cam tensioner without this two part middle pin. They told me it took a little bit of fiddling but fitted quite ok.

Friend and customer @jerreterre (on Instagram) finished a racing season in Belgian Classic Championship 2019 with his CB750. He is
using my High Performance Honda CB750 Cam Chain Tensioner in his CB750 engine. After the end of the season he had to open
the engine because of con-rod bearing getting loose. While the engine was opened he inspected Cam Tensioner and concluded that
there is more racing time in it. He will continue to use the same Cam tensioner in to the next racing season. I am satisfied to see that Cam Tensioner is holding that good because I was expecting that it will last one racing season.

The bike has been used in the following track days/races:
1.Bikers classics free practice, 3 days in hot weather and not holding back on the riding.
2.Chimay classics road race for the Belgian championship.
3.Classics on track: Croix en Ternois track.
4.Gedinne classic trophy for the Belgian championship.
5.Colmarberg Luxembourg for the Belgian championship.
6.Belgian 70's cycle sprint:a drag-race event for 70's bikes.

At least someone gave a little bit detailed report.

Does anyone know if these are currently available?

Or if someone has one on their shelf they would consider selling?

George, I have one that was fitted to my race bike. I took it out for a ride day just to do a couple of laps, bed new rings in etc. Unfortunately, when I went to drop the oil, I found a small piece of metal resulting in a decision to strip the engine. As it turns out, the (new) primary chain tensioner had collapsed (after market Teflon, but prefer not to go there as I have a high regard for the organisation). When I put the engine back together, I had a spare metal gear type tensioner and, for no particular reason, decided to use that tensioner (maybe I was not 100 percent sure in my mind about the design). So, if you get stuck, I have a virtually new messnermoto tensioner, including the correct cam chain I could send you. As you know, Iam in Oz.  Paul.

Medyo,

Hey man. Yes, I emailed and PMed Mirko a on Friday.  It may be a glitch, or they might be out of stock.

RCG, get with Mirko and find out his timeframe. I’ve got one, just get me a replacement. Be sure to remind me. I’ve been as busy as a cat covering poop through this pandemic, and might take a while if you don’t remind me.

I think people sometimes don't understand what it takes to make these things happen. No more Billet Blocks for me (unless it becomes viable)..... it requires capital and time...... a lot of time.
