Damn, that front tensioner looks better than most I've seen with 20k on them....do you even ride it?? How did you make out prying up the rear tensioner and using a dental mirror?
I run pure Wesson oil and shut it down and coast whenever I can. I haven't gotten behind the cam support. I have my dental mirror in work. Will check it out tomorrow.
Soos, my outer tensioner looked about like yours. My inner was shot and wouldn't have gone another 1000 miles. Be sure, whatever you do, that you check the inner while you've got it all apart.

Hey SOOS, If you need a gasket I can pick you up one. I work right down the street from Kelly House of Harley, plus I need to pick one up myself anyway since I am dropping my exhaust as well , just let me know.
As for the tensioners you are talking about ( which I don't know what you are talking about) The guy that sold it to me mentioned something about installing a "hydraulic Tensioner" ?? I wasn't really sure what he was talking about, could this be the same thing?
