Maybe in th every first post in this thread?

Thank you all for the descriptions... 8)

Does anyone have the part number for the Graves part or knows best place to buy it?

It's been cold and rainy last couple days so I got around to putting the new cam chain in my bike.
The bike has 122,000 miles and with the Graves mcct it was adjusted in so far that I could only see one thread left showing before the lock nut.
Now with the new chain and a new rear guide installed this is what the Graves mcct looks like.

I also wanted to let you all know that I had to adjust the valves [All four exhaust only] at around 65,000 miles and at this time they are all still perfect.
I don't see any reason to even check them again for another 50,000 miles.

How often have you had to adjust the MCCT?

Thanks!

I have put at least 20k on it and not once have I needed adjustment.
My 50k valve check is nest year it will get the full go over.

About 4,000 miles into our Alaska trip this summer my bike started to rattle just a little decelerating down hills. so I just turned the screw in a couple movements with the wrench [that wouldn't even be a full one turn of the screw] and it lasted another 10,000 miles or so and I had to tighten it again.

No need to even remove any plastic or covers , you can just reach in on the right side with the wrenches.
