Cam Chain Tensioner Guide Help

[Guest]

HELP, got an issue here, I have the engine split on 850G taking care of the seals in the secondary drive. While doing that I noticed the rear cam cahin tensioner guide has excessive wear and is cracking, part #12810-45040. This one has gotta go, if you look at Boulevard parts they want $ 330.00, unbelievable!

Same part on the 1100G can be had for $ 81.00, different # though. Anyone here had this problem and come up with a solution that doesn't cost over 300 bucks?

I have located some used ones but concerned I'm just looking at the same problem down the road.


Thanks Guys.

Tough break!
Based on the price a good used one is probably the way to go.

I might have one in a spare engine. I will try to check tonight to see if it's in there.

Yea, saw that one but it doesn't show the face of the rail and can't get an answer from the seller.

Thanks though...

I have it. It's in really good shape.

It's from an '83 engine, and I was told that the engine had low miles on it. Looking at the part, I have no reason to argue with that.

Care to PM an offer? You need pictures?

Thanks Agemax, don't think I can wait for it though. I'm using a friends garage for this one and he needs it back by Monday, I own a condo and can't do that kind of maintenance in my garage. I did find an NOS part on ebay and can get it by Friday for half of what Boulevard wants. Still expensive but probably the best solution considering.

Thanks for everyone's response and help, GSR rocks...

I responded at 6:14 that I have one.

I sent you a PM at 6:18 with a quote from my response.

It is now about 45 minutes later.

If your e-mail was shown in your profile, I would have sent you an e-mail.

I don't have your phone number.

I don't know how else to get hold of you.

Respond before 9pm tonight, I will take it to the Post Office and drop it off, it will be on its way tomorrow.
