Yes, it took alot of mod to work, and it was'nt cheap. But at the time I had a nissan timing chain tensioner that I was using. I was taking a trip to Mexico and there was no way I was going alone. The homemade nissan tensioner had a little to much tension on it because that was the only way I could keep the chain to stay on on the trail. And I was afraid to take a long trip with the way I had it set up. So it was kinda of a last minute set up I did with the tensioner and idler sprocket, but it worked great, held up all they way. The chain did fall of several times.
Your set-up is much better and I like it. I was looking at tractor supply but could not find it
