Anyone know of a good place and resonable priced online place to buy timing belt tensioners for the GL1000 model goldwing. My bike has 45,000 miles on it and I am replacing the timing belts, and thought I would replace the tensioners as well.? Thank you..... A new guy.

they are still available new for about $60 each (which really isn't that bad) or like said, you can use the methods posted (HERE) to rebuild your own for $20 to $30 each plus some time.. (all GLs can use this method)

If they are not squealing, there is no real reason to replace them.

how many miles should I expect to get from tensioners? If I wait? Bike has 45,000 miles on it. they dont squeek yet but I thought since I was in there replacing belts I would make sure.

My 77 has 215,000 miles on the originals. I doubt if they need replacing.

That makes me feel a little better, Hopefully That means I could get a few miles more out of them. Question? How often tochange timing belts on GL1000??
