    Another option for Auto CCT

    I had read that Geezer was going to try and use a Vision 550 CCT. I asked him if they worked and it ends up he sold them and never used the ones he bought so he didnt really know if it would work. Well I got one on eBay for $6 so I figured I would give it a go. It needed about 1mm shaved off of the inside of one of the bold holes and it slid right in perfectly. I could even use the same bolts from the XS. It has a little over 1/2 inch more depth than the original XS CCT so you can even get a little more time out of your chain. It is a hair off center on the tensioner arms in the chain galley but it still sits completely on the arm.

          No, a V twin 550cc road bike with a bad charging system. I've had on, and it "fell over" in the '89 quake. They handle very well, just have the bad alt, and a "funny" look.
