for anyone else looking for a good combination of price and convenient, http://www.rockauto.com has a good price on the t42015 bearings*. about half the price of Oriely's website. they're also a good source for timing belts. also search google for "rock auto discount", i found one on http://www.retailmenot.com for 5% off

be sure to click on the "part number search" tab or you won't get any results. the default is a search by car

I just rebuilt my tensioners, and Briang is on to a great idea. He said:

Quote:
Since I had to make bushings to reduce the size of the hole in the backing plate so the 10mm wheel stud could be used, I reasoned that if one were to first cut off the shaft which carries the tensioner roller this leaves, in place, the material which can become the required bushing, already pressed into the backing plate. There is enough of a gap between the plate and the roller to fit a hacksaw blade down it.


This is what I did. It was super easy, and when you've finished cutting, the piece of the shaft remaining in the backing plate already has a hole in it that's exactly the right size to act as a bushing for an M10 bolt - no drilling required.

I used a regular hex head bolt, so I didn't have to worry about drilling the bearing.

I think the heat shields were only used on some years, they were not on my 79. This is a great fix, no problems on my bike since it was done.

i studied a bit the matter, and I think the best would be to fabricate a special stud with a lathe... here the drawing...

what do you guys think? this would allow to still use the heatshields...

if you have access to a lathe that would work great.
