M-6 with 30,000 miles. What are your thoughts?

 

Looks ok, mine looks about the same or a little less worn with about 30000 as well

 

I'm not an expert but it looks pretty good to me.

 

I installed one on my 06 WideGlide because of the possibility of the stock auto chain adjuster causing chain to get too tight. Been thinking about installing one on the 03 EG. The WG shifts better since installing Hyden but it's not the same transmission and they did make the clutch easier to pull on the 06.

 

time to replace the shoe

 

It looks to me like it's worn to where the rollers are riding along the top of the shoe. I doubt it will ever wear any further than that.

 

Hayden customer service told me a few years back that the shoe will wear from the chain side plates groove into the shoe then the rollers will ride on the shoe and wear is minimized. Looks good to me. The original M6's had too long of springs, since then the springs have been shortened.
