Contact Rob de Hoo in Holland. He is the Krieger European distributor so you don't get hit by customs.

Cheapest option by far is Bazza manual converts, as you cant PM him yet, until you reach 50 posts I'll drop him a line for you & he will contact you.

Just to make that clear, Bazza converts the standard Honda Firestorm CCT into manual tensioners (and does a very good job doing that), unlike the others mentioned who supply them, theirs are machined entirely from scratch,

If funds are a bit tight at the moment you may want to consider doing the Stop mod.

Some links regarding the Cam Chain Tensioners (CCT's)

You can either go for the stop mod http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 31&t=19416
Which is the Honda auto CCT's that are converted to a fail safe. So when it does fail, it don't send the valves crashing.

Or

You go for the full manual conversion, your options are here

Then with regards to fitting View Topic

No I'm not on commission but get a decent Man Hug from Bazza whenever we meet...

In regard to the OP's 1st post he asks for the cheapest option on manuals...Thats Bazza converts simples.

I haven't been stung for over two years now, I'm careful around bee's & wasps...few Gnat bites but they are bites not stings so don't count.
