SOHB primary adjuster

If you are talking about the HD adjuster, yes it does quiet down the primary some. It also does a good job of keeping the chain adjusted automaticaly. The best part is that it is a retroactive fit for all Big Twins at least back through EVO. I had a M6, but a spring broke. The HD is a different design.

From the HD parts website: Indicates it is standard equipment on 07 and later touring, so I'd bet you already have it.

No one seems to be answering your question, so I'll come as close as I can. I had the SOHB adjuster on a 2001 Ultra. I liked it better than the Hayden unit because of the hydraulic, rather than spring operation. I can't say that I heard any difference in the primary, but it did seem to smooth out some of the chain lash that I had been feeling before the install. I also never had to do an adjustment in the 20,000 miles I had that bike. Don't know how much improvement it will give on the '07 bike over the factory unit though.
