I would pay twice as much or more to get custom built. Or if you could supply without the countersinks just the holes I could have milling done here by machinest friend. Ill take photos and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the feedback on the muzzy. Since my bike is 09 I assume thats why its different. Also looks like the 09 dips lower in that area so there is a bit more access.
cheers Jim

 

Blackheart, continuing our discussion from that other forum that doesn't allow easy pic posting, here's the pic of the tool I put together to make access to the tensioner a very easy process. Yes, the allen tool and wrench method works, but as you've noticed the tensioner bolt/plunger tends to vibrate and shake fairly strongly when you are turning it in and out, making it more challenging to find that sweet spot of adjustment. Plus, on my bike the pipe is extremely close to the adjuster making for a hot time trying to adjust it. Instead I've gone to this pieced together extension, so that I can easily reach the adjuster from way back toward the back of the airbox and rear tire. This thing is a bunch of common tools attached in rube goldberg fashion, but it works excellently with perfect control of the adjuster bolt and no burnt fingers.

 

TNC, you're a gentleman, and a scholar. Thanks!

 

I am neither, and if you persist in spreading vicious rumors like that, I will look you up...and I will bring friends.
