About quality and texture, I can confirm that the quality is great and that a mixture of materials are used from aluminum alloy for the arm, to hard rubber for the wheel and stainless steel for the spacer and bolt. About the feeling of use, The original cam chain tensioner arm is thin and applies unnecessary pressure to the tensioner push rod head. The manufacture of the Takegawa cam chain tensioner arm has resolved all the flaws of the original Honda design as you can see in my photo. Products to buy together, More parts to support a longer life span engine would be ideal to add to your cart like the crankshaft bearing support also from Takegawa. Difficulty of installation, I can say the fitment of the cam chain tensioner arm for my installation was average due to engine cover and rotor removal required for access. Cost performance and comparison with other products, The pricing of the product is great. You receive a product made from quality materials that does away with the original part that can fail causing major problems. Priced similar to other reinforced cam chain tensioners but much higher then the original one.

This reinforced cam chain tensioner arm from Special Parts Takegawa is a well designed replacement part which adds even more reliability to a great engine from Honda. The Honda OEM part that this replaced on my Honda Monkey 125 was pretty rubbish and if you are serious about your motorcycle this part should be on your list to upgrade asap. Design feature to note on the part from Special Parts Takegawa are the much larger foot that contacts the cam tensioner push rod which better distributes the force on the rubber head, the hole to assist in better lubrication of the pivot point and the removable wheel allowing replacement when the time comes for it. A great choice and excellent pricing at Webike.

Upgrading the 125cc required some supporting mods and the reinforced cam chain tensioner arm is a must for a higher capacity and higher revving engine. this product from Special Parts Takegawa is a quality made item and fits like OEM. Installation was a little more then I usually do maintenance wise but with the right tools and some research was not too difficult.

SP Takekawa's Arm is very thin (like Knife's back part) and puts a lot of strain on the PushBolt's head, so it's inevitable to replace it after a few years or tens of thousands of miles. It's a pretty low burden. I think the price is too high... Is this what it is?
