Cam Chain Tensioner Failure

2003 Heritage Classic....Replaced both inner and outer tensioners @ 31,000 miles. The inner was worn just about to metal. I seemed to have caught it just in time. I inspected both tensioners at 45,000 miles and (surprisingly) has no wear at all. I will continue to inspect at about 15,000 mile intervals.

I posted (#23) back in 2002. I now have about 82,000 miles on my bike. I have since (2002) replaced my tensioners twice. The next time I change the tensioners (4th time) I will be using the CYCO tensioners. I have them on my bench. I will be inspecting/replacing my tensioners this winter (2013).
