| Adjusting shoe
looking to replace the primary chain adjusting shoe. I know thew has a replacement that holds constant tension on the chain instead of using the nylon/plastic adusting shoe. Anyone? I seen it in here a while back,a good while back, any reccomendations? 02 wideglide.

| I went with the hydraulic chain tensioner, although it might be the same one that fxdxsteve posted, I can't remember. I'll have to look....nope I just looked it up, it's the HB-125. It seems to work well, but I only have about 1K on it. It does shift smoother though. The HB is hydraulic, and the M-6 has shims to keep the tension. I thought the HB was a better choice. JMO Good luck and let us know what you choose and why. | |

| I looked at the S.O.Hotbikes tensioner although I liked the looks of it more I got the m6 at a swapmeet for 15 bucks so I went with it it works fine and I haven't had to add shims in 40000 miles so I'm happy with it | |

| Hayden's system uses shims to set the spring tension. They recommend checking the setting every 20k. I know of one bike that has run 60k before needing to add one of the thin shims, like 1/16th inch. That's good service, and they've been making them for 18 years.
I have three Harleys in my garage. I have a 1991 FLHS, my wife's 2005 Super Glide Custom, and they both have an M6 installed in them. My 2007 Road King Police bike will have one soon. Hayden has the prototype ready for it, and I should receive it tomorrow. I'll be testing it for them. I think that much of the products they have. | |

HB125
HD has one for 06 and up and it will fit back to other years.
HD's is ratcheting and spring loaded
HB125 is hydraulic and the one I use because I put it in before the HD one came out.
HB125 I have works fine.

| I have read on some sites of problems with the HD unit. Appears to be with the fact that it ratchets tight, then has no way to back off if needed. Seal and bearing failures were talked about. I have not had any issues with my 2007 Road King at 10k. In my opinion, I think the HB125 or the Hayden unit is a better design than the HD unit. I do like the HB125, but I'll be putting the Hayden in mine. | |

| call me old school.....but for 40 some years i have been manualy adjusting my shoe. it gives me a chance to look around in there and see what is going on. i would be afraid if i got one of the new adjusters i would not catch something bad before it happened.....and it is fun to tinker!!!!!

| Thing is the newer HD's dont' have the inspection cover access anymore, so you have to have an self adjuster.
I think the early bugs with the HD adjuster have been worked out, it's been on every 08 and 07 on the street, that's what over 200,000 bikes?
