When my friends tensions went out half way to Sturgis, I had them check mine while they were fixing his. Mine had very little wear at 30,000 miles. $193 and worth every penny, so far from home. It cost him $1200.

 

The "cure" for 99-05 Twin Cams:

Doesn't that leave the inner chain a Morris flat ling style though?

 

not sure on that.

this is supposed to put all the chain tension on the one shoe in the front. Being an SE part, you know the R&D has been done, and it works as stated.

The smart route is to do this, with Torrington Cam bearings at the same time. The ball bearings suck....needle bearings are the way to go IMHO. That's what I did on my 2011 Streetglide 103 when I swapped to SE 255 cams.

Nope, still a patch. Gear drives is the cure.

agreed, until you develop too much crank runout.
