Primary chain adjustment
So I think I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to adjust the primary chain tension on my 08 heritage but this looks nothing like the pics I see in the tutorials I saw online. Any help or advice wood be appreciated.

Nothing to adjust, that's self adjusting, may even be a hydraulic.

The photo is of the balancer assembly, not the primary.

If no access panel in the primary cover, no adjustment available.

This has to be a joke...!
If you have your engine this far apart, and think that is your primary chain... you'd better let someone else put it back together...!!

Lol. The adjustment is under the head gaskets.

Finally a serious response, thanks. I'll check under the head gasket tonight.

You don't have to go that far! I adjusted mine right under the rocker box gasket. Then realized all the problem was a bad front caliper.!

Y'all are all wrong. Clearly, the problem is that he is low on blinker fluid!
