Default CCT replacement... Stock or Manual

So its finally getting time to do the ole CCT replacement and just curious as to whether I should order the stock replacement or should I go with the manual one? I've heard a couple mixed reviews so I figured I'd ask here.... Lets hear it boyz, which one do I go with...

Thanks for the reply fellaz! How often do you have to dig back into the bike to tighten it?

I've had this F2 for nearly four years and I've had to tighten the CCT once.

Just put an ape on my F4i, 400 miles and hasn't begun rattling as of yet. Easy to install, but takes a little patience to adjust when you get it on. Have to prop the tank up a little to get a wrench in there to tighten the lock nut down.

i never had to adjust mine after i got them to the correct tension either. i've since sold one of the '54s - and that guy hasn't had any problems whatsoever. he and i still talk on a regular basis

Having to get in there and tighten it up is my biggest concern... Doesn't sound like its to bad though. I think I'm going with the manual, thanks for all the replys boyz!
