Yes we do. But all you need is to find someone with a lathe. Its very simple and takes about 5 minutes.


Check your email Jim. Funds sent for ZX-12 CCT to fit my 14.
Thanks

I know, it was free. I am on the open road from Texas to Ozark Mountains a lot.. I just did not want to worry

about a manual needing adjusting while on a long trip.

Just an Update:

I chose to go with the APE Manual. Less money and its a very nice piece. Very easy to install. I have only been able to ride about 100 miles, but MAN!!!! what a difference. The bike sounds so quiet! (except for my exhaust.)

I would have to say that I did about a month's worth of research before deciding to go with the APE manual tensioner and after doing so I believe it was the right choice. Thanks to everyone for their input. I would highly recommend getting rid of that crappy hydraulic CCT that KAW put on this bike.

Jim at CompetitionCNC emailed me that my ZX-12 CCT he machined is on it's way.
I have had a APE on a FJ1200 worked fine but wanted to try this spring loaded
self adjuster this time.
