Another CCT Question
Has anyone made a manual CCT out of the stock CCT? If so will it work as good as an APE CCT? If you have, can someone walk me through the steps? Or if someone has some home made CCT's or APE CCT's for sale cheap please PM me.......thanks

Take a look at this thread.

Having looked at the attempts at making the stock CCT's safe, I think this is the only
way that makes sense. Look at the way the CCT's operate and you will see the bolts
will not hold the cam chain tension if the spring breaks. The sleeve is easy and secure. The CCT cannot retract past the sleeve after a spring failure.

Properly installed a manual CCT is best... If it's an APE or another manufacturer or DIY work is completely irrellevant...
Various schemes to lock the standard CCT is just patch work...
I'm running original CCT's that I drilled out the way described in the thread above... This is completely equivalent to the APE's... No possibility of them failing... The cost is whaterver a few bits cost you at the local hardware store and some time...
Ie an M8 (or 5/16 for you metric challenged) wagonbolt and a nyloc-nut as adjustment lock plus a standard nut with a locking pin to use as adjuster... Much cheaper than a set of APE's... And all you need is a good drill and a the tools to cut new threads... Still cheaper than APE's if you haven't got them...
