Got the SE manual primary chain adjuster from the big brown truck today. Looks like a nice piece of work. Was not really sure how it worked and locked down but now i have it in my hand i see how it works. About half the weight as the Baker unit and looks really cool being anodized orange so i hope it works as good as it looks. No need to remove the comp. sprocket to install it like the Baker just a bolt on adjust and ride. Oh yeh LSHD1 has it in their parts now just type in the part#36500020 and you will see the price mine was $129 to the door. Sold the Baker to my brother and law to pay for this one.

One would think that your OP Cover would have to be removed in order to check though everytime though, no?

Not quite like the ol' days.

Now if only they would bring back the OP covers with with the insp. covers...
Then it would be complete..

 

A direct replacement for the Original Equipment
automatic version, this anodized billet aluminum adjuster allows you
to fine-tune the settings, and lock the position when the freeplay is
properly set. The manual adjustment locks the chain tension in place
to prevent the chain from adjusting during severe shifting.

Fits ’06-later Dyna® and ’07-later Softail® and Touring models.

 

Why would you replace a primary drive auto chain tensioner with one thats a manual? Especially since (like the poster said above) you have to remove the outer primary cover to even inspect it.

I'm not kickin down your barn; I really wanna know. Heck, they're might be something to this I'm not gettin.

I read the sales pitch reason above but that doesn't really get me there.

 

I have the old style manual one that each step of the buttress serrations actual end up moving the chain about a 1/4". Since I have a little unequal chain wear I end up with about 1/2" free-play at the tight spot and 3/4" at the free area. This has always made my primary a little loud. Your picture does not show the allen head bolt in the end that appears to be the adjuster. Does this allow for fine adjustment? What locks the adjuster bolt? Not sure why you would need this on a manual adjuster bike and like the man said you surely would not want it on a newer bike with the auto-adjuster or really be a lot of trouble to adjust it. However the manual adjuster adjustment call out was way over-stated in the owners and service manual since mine never changed in 40K and even if it finally wore the links into the delrin it would stop wearing but surely need at least one adjustment in this time frame.

 

can't find this on their web page, am i doing something wrong?
