Thanks Verslagen!... just got the "original" style weld-on cam adjuster I ordered from you into my sister's Savage. The bike runs sweet, no more noise, way quieter. Looks like I have about 12mm before the spring pin gets to the end of the slot but because my chain is only about 10mm apart I figure I will hear something before it does. Thanks again. Here is a picture (and I sent those 3 circlips out in the mail to you today)

Thanks Rick!
Generation 2 report: The material needed to make this a 10 minite job isn't commonly available.
I'm looking for 5/8x1x1/16" wall tubing. Poke 2 holes in it, squeeze 1 end down to fit the exiting pivot, add a bearing to pivot on, finito! Not to be.

I'll try to make the square tubing Idea work but for now I'm going with this design.

GREAT shot. Having never seen the back side off the housing I designed the tuning fork thinking the housing mounting point was in the middle and not off-set. Go for it

I did that exact same mod (extra eyelet infront) over the winter ... glad to know I aint the only one to ahve that problem.
BTW Mine came with a manual tensioner which was so bad the chain burrowed a trench in the cases. I welded up aluminum in there ... but I may swap out lower ends with one that broke a valve.
Cool.
Srinath.

Vtail (et al) this idea doesn't work. When the stock adjuster is pushed forward by 16mm, it hits the clutch cover case. And then you can't bolt it down.
Here's the 1st meeting of the local CamChainClub.
SteveRocket, Smokey02, & Verslagen1
We met to install the Gen II in Steve's bike. Luckily I had a Gen I with tab left or he'd be SOL.
Any body else want to try them? Send me $5 for shipping and a beer to cry in. $6 if you want the mounting hardware.
One thing I did notice and I've seen it on another, was wear on the back side of the adjuster right where it touche the tensioner guide. This means the guide flops around quite a bit.
