Default Auto Primary Chain Tensioner

When I replace my polished primary cover with a chrome one,I want to install an automatic chain tensioner.Is the HD auto tensioner a good one or is there better ones out there?.

I would assume they are bulletproof is why mess with the H-D engineering?

Don't the newer models already come with these installed? There must be quite a few out there. Wouldn't mind having one myself!

I haven't heard of anybody having trouble with the HD ones.

I have an 05 Road Glide it still had the older manuel one, I replaced mine with a HB125, it's worked great for me. Do a search on HB125, there were quite a few threads on them at one time.

And the benefit of making this change over is? I adjust my stock tensioner every year while doing my year end fluid change. It takes all of 10 minutes to do. What's the big deal?

What is the difference between these 2?
