hardtail chain tensioners?

[purerockfury71]

ok there maybe be a thread on this already but i suck at searching for this stuff on this site, so i hardtailed my frame and plan on using the coventional or stock style chain tensioners but as you all or atleast many of you know the axle plates when you hardtail a bike are thinner than the stock swing arm so either i have to make spacers to make the stock tensioners work or find some from another bike that will work wich i have another set from some other bike that are the right thickness just a little to short in length so my question is if anyone knows of a bike i can get the tensioners for that will work with my axle plates read somewhere cb350 tensioners will work just not sure if not i would like to hear some of your ideas on how to take care of this, how you made the stock ones work or a bike you got them from...

Can't you just use a big washer to fill the gap with the stock spacers?

Yep, 3/4" washers do the trick just fine. I tacked mine on to the stock adjusters to make it easier to assemble.

same here. deffinately tach them on the adjuster,though.

If you still have the swing arm, it has welded on doublers which would be t*ts on the hardtail.
