I have 20k on my 06 FLHRI
On June 12th I'm taking a road trip, CT to TN to AZ to SD and back to CT.
Did my 20k service two weeks ago, had a few more things I wanted to check on the bike, inspecting the tensions was one of them.

I'm posting the links to Photo bucket so they can be viewed in a larger size.

From other threads I've read and pics that I've seen, mine look pretty good to me. (But I swing a hammer for a living)
Would you take a 6 to 8000 mile road trip with these tensioners?

 

Nope, when they start to wear like that they could go fast , get rid of the worry go with gear drive

 

The outside one is hardly worn at all and I wouldn't worry about it, can't tell what that inside one looks like. They always have those little pits in them so that's not a problem.

 

Not terrible, but you may as well change them while you got it apart. I know it is extra work, but getting that damn exhaust on and off is the hardest part.

 

I run my old oil through a strainer and cut my filter open every oil change (3000 miles) to look for orange plastic. I've only found a few very small chips. Still I'm going to visually check them very soon.

 

According to the service manual they look fine. Worn less than 50% and no cracks. I hope mine look that good.

 

No.
With all those voids,who's to say they wont crack or chip more?
And on your trip,you would probly be worried about them!

 

I went gear drive around 20k. Mine looked about like yours. You can go with the new hydraulic setup,but would still have tensioners.

 

Which gear drive did you go with?

 

If I went through the trouble to inspect them.I would just go head and change them and be done with it.
