I'm surprised to hear that the 360's design had failures because they seemed to be damned reliable, at least until the late 90s when I owned my last one. The 350s, on the other hand, were a bad design from the get-go.
For my 360 with a 'hot' motor (yea I know, sounds laughable) I stripped the OEM slipper of the hard rubber face it had and bonded a slab of delrin to the spring steel backing plate and filed the delrin down to the appropriate size. Even in the 90s I questioned the integrity of the >20 year old OEM hard rubber face on the slipper and used a more modern alternative. Again, I'm surprised to hear that a slipper with a spring steel backing plate can snap.Last edited by Skjoll; 07-31-2019, 12:37 PM.Comment

I would suggest against reverting back to an old style cam chain tensioner with an idler sprocket. That was a common point of failure with the 350 and is why Honda gave the 360 a more modern slipper design.Comment

did not make it to winter. slipper broke after two weeks. got a modern slipper fit it with a grinder. kz440 slipper actually fit easily. big difference. the kz440 slipper is tough piece of kit. how did I figure out a kz440 slipper would work. I eyeballed it from ebay pics. the human eye is under rated. it was slightly too long. cut it about an inch shorter. made 2 brackets to fit it to the honda. bolts up to the existing mounts. made a modern busa style tensioner from a 10mmx1.0 bolt and a piece of scrap. total cost $15 for a used kz440 slipper, cam chain master link #219, $6. been a nightmare with this bike, glad it's over. had enough of the old slipper to make the guide. one hit with a hammer and cut with a grinder to fit. happy as a clam. like riding a different bike. idles like a sewing machine.
