Softail Deuce - TC88 - Inner Cam Chain Tensioner Question

06 FXSTDI - 16500mi

Inner shoe cam chain tensioner wear in pic. Outer is flawless.

I do contract work, currently in between clients. Looking for any mechanically inclined and or knowledgeable people to help me decide whether this is safe to ride until my next client. I am cautious to spend on parts without income. Stop gap would be to replace the shoes until I have income and feel okay spending my savings on hydraulic upgrade and maybe re-cam it.

please give me your thoughts if they're informed. I don't want to miss out riding but I found this cause I'm doing preventive maintenance not so I can ignore shit.

bought the bike at 14000mi. stage 1.

cheers.

if I've said anything fucking stupid let me know but I expect it so be kind, I appreciate knowing if I'm stupid.
