Primary chain tensioner blade

[pierodn]

Hi All.
Has anyone ever installed a Triumph T150 primary Chain Tensioner Blade (one blade like late-type) on a Commando?
Thank you.

I've never seen that
But I have to ask, why would you want to do that?

Removes the need to move the gearbox to set the primary chain tension, every time you move the gearbox you risk not following the correct sequence and and if wrong then the rear chain pulls the gearbox out of position.

Old Brits added a Harley Davidson tensioner when they fitted their starter upgrade. They needed to fix the position of the clutch wheel as their starter drove a gearwheel bolted to the back.

Hi.
I thought to use a 1975 cradle and swinging arm on a 750 commando.
You know the 1985 cradle doesnt have the gearbox adjuster hardware so that i thought to another way to adjust the primary chain.
Thanks.
