Thanks guys, much appreciated.
I found out after reading the factory service manual I own that under that nut is a pair of toothed bearing lock nuts with a locking tab between them. This means I'll have to make up yet another tool to access those. Nuts, I thought that one was the tensioning nut and it turns out that it's just a cover! Oh well, it was a fun project just the same, and I'll probably make a cool tool for getting at the nuts UNDER that one as well, to avoid having to remove the handlebars.
