Wondering if it would be wise to go to a automatic primary chain tensioner on a 00 Ultra 1450 SE stage one and if so which self adjuster is recommended?

Hayden M6 self adjuster from J&P
Hydraulic Automatic Chain Tensioner from J&P
The new HD hydraulic self adjuster from Harley

 

I have to go with the HB125 for its hydrallic action over the others https://www.hdforums.com/m_76603/tm.htm

 

Bill is telling you right, I have the HB 125, good unit, fairly easy install.

 

Been thinking about the auto primary adjuster. Even tho it aint that hard to adjust manualy. What is a HB 125. with out seeing it, Im have a hard time comprehending the hydrolic part of a chain tensioner.????????????

 

Take a look here http://www.sohotbikes.com/downloads/instructions.pdf

 

So I take it that thing on the bottem is acually a pump and the tension from the nylon shoe pushes down from the chain thus keep the pump pumped up keeping tension tite.

Have I confused my self yet?

 

Not quite, the hydrallic section dampens movement to keep it in the optimum position beter.

 

just ordered the HB 125 through www.foghollow.com for 84 bucks plus shipping!

Good advice here.

 

Got the HB125 from Fog Hollow 2 days ago. They sent it right out, got it in just a couple fo days, and I got an e-mail from them thanking me for their business. Seems like a good place to spend your money.
