Ok. Yeah I’m mainly building a cruiser right now. Around town. Top speed will probably be 50.

I looked the tensioner bracket part number on Amazon and it says 39$ and out of stock. Is it USA Amazon or another country?

Awesome. Thank you so much!

Ok. So make sure I get the pre 1990 Components. Is it good or bad or indifferent that it’s the pre 1990? Out of curiosity

Where do you source them? (Which site). Trying to upload a pic of the valve cover.
