Cam Chain tensioner extenders

[jandreu]

Just a thought...could you check to see if you need extenders by pulling the spark plug tunnels? If the chain is hitting it will leave a mark. Would this be any easier?

Sorry to say but I wash my Nomad at least every two weeks and sometimes every week depending on how much riding I do and the wind. Wind you ask...yes wind. Living on an island we have normally high trade winds, combine that with ocean surf and it equals Salt Spray, heavy sticky salt on everything. Dirt may not harm anything but salt will rust and anodize everything if you don't get it off. Plus I'm just anal about having a clean bike, gives me a chance to check it over and do any maintenance required. I guess this habit formed when I bought my HD back in '94!
