As far as i know mate,you take out the internals,and drill/then tap a thread into your cct,so it accepts a bolt,thus convertin it from being spring tensioned to a manual tension cct.

If you do a forum search there will be loads of info and pics of them ,hope this helps you

[chris1bev]

Thanks alot Coledog, i really want to put the Cans on but the guy said it misfires, not sure if that means they are the wrong cans or it needs jetting or something else?

As BP said a bolt runs down the thread where the adjuster cap now sits. It doesnt actually turn it into a manual tensioner though but it does stop the CCT retracting if the spring snaps thus stopping damage to chain, casing, valves etc.... Loads of info including drawings on this site.

i have a set of aftermarket cans and they all pop and bang it just lets you know you are riding a twin i love it

[chris1bev]

So putting them on wouldn't damage anything then, i need to solve my not starting problem now anyway!!

[chris1bev]

Thanks alot!!

[coledog]

Naaa all the blokes will tell you that they all pop and bang!

[chris1bev]

in that i may stick the cans on then, just someone i would need to get it jetted if i stick em on?

[Phil-VTwin]

As they were supplied with the sale, it may have already been jetted for them

Try them and see how it feels, then check the plug colour, better still check the plugs first, if they are black then its been jetted for richer mixture

im sure ive seen that bike with camel racing graphics on it, hummmm

[chris1bev]

That would look nice though
