TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XI
You can pick them up pretty cheap. You just have to make sure that the cam chain tensioners have been replaced because the front one WILL let go eventually. I replaced mine with manual tensioners instead of the factory spring tensioners. Let me know if you get one, I still have some parts around here for it.

What, were they watching over Harley's shoulder?
The cam chain tensioners just weren't a good execution. The spring would fail with catastrophic results. Bent valve, jacked piston, sometimes the connecting rod would snap. The fix was simple and it worked well. Pull the OEM tensioner, replace with a fixture that was little more than a bolt with a rounded shoe on the business end to keep tension on the chain.
I've been a Dolphins fan since birth. That's why I always look grumpy.
There where good days though...
