Default Cam chain tensioners

getting ready to put some new cams in my 02 dresser an I've got everything except new chain tensioners, My question is has anyone used aftermarket shoes, I saw on ebay some being offered by V-Twin that were a little cheaper in price, I know that sometimes the same companies make the same parts for different distributors and just change the name on the product but would like to know if anyone has used these or just stuck with OEM from Harley. Also I don't need the usual go with a gear drive comments but thanks anyway.

Chris

I was going to suggest going with the upgraded SE Cam Support Plate w/hydraulic cam chain tensioners and high output oil pump...

But I guess you don't need to hear that either.

The OEM equipment works pretty fair and lasts a while.

With something like the cam shoes I wouldn't go with anything other than OEM, even if there not the newer ones.
