    Check the Free Spirits Site,If you are looking for a Belt tensioner, That's constant & spring loaded.Trojan May have this as well. Maybe Twin motorcycles.nl-Most of the parts like this are Overseas.Check American Sportbike also. There may be someone Here that can get you better info OR have a different way to do that Mod.

    Wish the Free Spirits for the Buell looked like the new XR 1200 tensioner, I think it looks killer, almost like it is just floating.



    What mine looks like

    The XR one sure does look better.

    If I do pick up one for the XB in the future the 1st thing I'm gonna need to do is paint that yellow spring another colour.

    Could the XR one fit and work on the XB?

    I think the angles are different. Not sure if it would bolt up but in the pics it looks to sit on a higher angle than what an XB tensioner would.

    For the XR.
    Would it be possible to find the tension of the stock cb tensioner and then bolt up the XR and o ky put the rear axle in so far to where it has the same tension? Im sure the axle HAS to go in so far can it go in just enough?... Anyone catchin my drift?
