If I were to modify the cam chain tensioner, how much time/miles does that buy me before I need to actually replace it? Should I just go ahead and buy a new one if I have the hundsky to spend on it?

Double the miles you have now, I'd replace it before it hits that mark.

So here's the scenario's...

ride, replace chain, ride, replace chain, ride, replace chain, ride, replace chain = 4x new chains

ride, modify adjuster, ride, replace chain, ride, change hole, ride, replace chain = 2x new chains

Same amount of riding, twice as many chains.

And my modified adjuster won't fall apart to destroy your engine.

The cam chain tensioner is not wearing, it is the cam chain and follower.
But after a certain point (19mm or so) the plunger falls out of the housing and makes a expensive mess. Versy mods them with a second hole out 12mm and a pin so they can't fall out. With his mod you should be able to get 60 -80k miles before replaceing the chain.(and follower)
