Default 99-06 cam tensioner shoes - can't get Cyco replacements?

Hey guys,

Trying to get a set of Cyco / twin power brand tensioner shoes for the OEM chain drive set up on my '02 Fatboy...

Having trouble getting a set, even from Cyco gaskets website store ...

What is the next best brand to put in? I can get some Mid USA brand but not sure about the quality. Don't want to use the over priced Harley stock ones either.

Thanks for any advice.

Call CYCO. The supply their tensioner shoes to several aftermarket vendors who sell them under a rebranded name, like Twin Power. CYCO will tell you the aftermarket vendors that they supply and the OP might be able to find some that way.

Cyco themselves are out of stock as well... I'll waiting and looking unless there is another brand that is also OK to use? I can get some MIDUSA shoes. Are they any good? It's still a maintenance item, so I don't care if I don't get 50K out of them because I understand that I'll be changing them out at scheduled time anyways which is part of the deal if you choose to stick with the oem chain set up 😁

mine "look" ok but from what I've read they can go from looking ok to disintegrating. Don't want take the risk.

Thanks, but they are not the Twin power / Cyco brand pads.... the pictures are deceiving. I emailed the sellers and that particular listing is for MIDUSA brand pads.

Lots of listings are falsely using Cyco pads pictures, but they are not the product they are actually supplying.

Thanks

I've been chasing them for a while as well and just got them from this seller:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/midamericaw...p2047675.l2562

I emailed them before the purchase and they claim they get them directly from Cyco.
