xb belt idler to tensioner conversion

[mobmechjoe]

just wondered if any one else had modded the one on their bike i just did not feel like paying for a new belt when mine got a little loose i slotted one hole in the idler bracket a while back that worked until i added the jardine exhaust which adds a bracket to those two studs in question so i have now drilled and tapped a hole for a set screw to push against upper stud and am hoping it will hold any other methods or thoughts welcomed

like it a lot and lots better than what i did will put it on my list since it is still cheaper than a belt and would def be a perm fix not a patch like a new belt thanks
