Source for cam chain tensioner?

'79 KZ650 B3

Is there a place to get an automatic cam chain tensioner assembly besides Kawasaki?

I saw Manual adjusters on z1enterprises.com, but no automatic ones.

ummm ... I've never seen a new cam chain ensioner assembly on ebay, so I don't see how it's so obvious. Maybe you could show me some?

You didn't specify "NEW" in your original post. With that added information, no, I don't know where you can get one. Sorry.

Looking at Kawasaki.com there does not appear to be a single part number for the whole tesioner assembly. Is there a particular piece or pieces that you need or is the whole thing missing? It looks like there are about 12 pieces (including mounting bolts) so you could maybe find them all at vintage parts dealers, but if you don't need the whole thing it would be easier. Ed
