One more thing to add: While other manufacturers have had some struggles with their chain tensioner designs, Honda's has proven to be quite reliable over the years. I would be a little surprised if yours failed. I have trikes that are over 30 years old that have the original untouched cam chain tensioners in them still.

I would still check it though.

He sold it a few years ago...... You can see in the last picture he updated it to disks brakes. He put the original drum back on to sell it.

Don't tell the guys in the oil thread that he run any and every cheap oil he could get his hands on. The bike run great when he sold it 30+ years later.... With 10's of thousands of miles.

Thanks, I haven't put a lot of miles on them since I retired, The Nomad has 65,000 on it, the wing has 10,000. The aspencade had about 60,000 on it.
