Back in the Panhead days, the compensator was an extra-cost option.

I've been chasing a bottom end noise to the point i was giving up and figuring the motor was shot , Today i tried everything , compensator i was hoping it was shot , nope it was fine , front motor mount i put in a couple weeks ago was fine , chain looks good so with the primary cover off I started the bike ----Holy **** that chain was bouncing up and down smacking the case lurching and jumping it was the Haydon tensioner I have the instructions and it was set right i guess the springs were worn out , took a shovel shoe and mounting bracket of my shelf set it up and started it up nothing but a nice whirrrrring noise , pretty happy right now

My Hayden M6 did the same thing to me but it stretched the chain in the process.
Needless to say I have the M6 in a box in the shed.
I did call Hayden and they sent me some extra springs though!!!
