Anyone know of any more visually appealing chain tensioner blocks, like the sliding aluminium ones you see on some more modern bikes?
I had a look for early Blade trick items, but couldn't find anything- surprising, as every mnfr makes Blade bits...
No silly red anodised tat, but something that looks a bit more...."engineered" perhaps.
Suggestions/links, pls?

Probably just substance over style with the APE and other types init
would be nice to have a more machined crafted look to them, as the rear is almost always visible on the storm

Re: Chain tensioner blocks
Cheers, Seb, but I meant rear drive chain tensioner, not CCT's. Got plenty of those.....

Re: Chain tensioner blocks
That's the sort of thing.
Just never found anything that would brighten up the back end of the swingarm a bit

Re: Chain tensioner blocks
I can always get some made, but was after something off the shelf, preferably, as I'm tight and lazy.
