When I did my first oil change I thought I became a 'serious thimper'. LOL
Verslavies idea with the no swimsuits was the best....forget about the tensioner. Now riding from MS to CA sounds great but after getting my 72 year old butt there I would be in ICU.
I ride with some other 'old geezers' and have the smallest ride in the bunch. after we put our brains in tandem this tensioner job should move right along. Thanks for your advise, comments and support.
Will probably be getting in touch with Verslagen1 about his package deal.
