    Has anybody out there ever noticed how when you adjust your chain/belt on the brake side of a bike with this adjuster cam set up that when you tighten the nut the adjuster cam floats with the nut backing it off?... I just toyed with mine on a 06 road glide and never did get it to stay put. Any ideas? Thanks.
