    I think your talking about the chain tighteners on the 200x.
    I don't recommend this as a normal replacement. Just a quick fix. I have taken the brackets off and welded different threaded rod to them. And the reinstalled them. I was lucky to find metric threaded rod at a Hardware store. I was forced to do this because we were riding the next day and no time to order them from the dealer. You could use a 1/4" threaded rod also ( I like to use metric ).

    I'm not sure if Honda still sells them but if they do that is the easiest ( not cheapest though ) way to get them.
