cb350k0 tensioner set opinions

Been Around the Block
I'm rebuilding my 69 cl350k0 and want to replace the crap rubber tensioner wheels. There is a seller on ebay selling some upgraded one. Here's the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/TENSIONER-SET-CB350-CL350-SL350-CAM-CHAIN-TENSIONER-PA6G-polyamide-CNC-/251129839808?hash=item3a788140c0&item=251129839808&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_5553wt_1139

any thoughts or reccomendations?

Thanks!
 
I bought one, I haven't ran the motor yet but the seller is a stand up guy. When you install the rivet, put a 1/4" dowel pin punch or something thru the center of the rivet and then use a large roll pin or starter punch on the end to be flared. If you don't put something thru the middle it will collapse and bulge inside the bearing instead of on the outside of the tensioner frame. This happened to me the first time and Paul was more than generous in sending me a couple of replacement rivets so that I could get my motor back together.
 
Thank you!
