Default Primary chain tensioner

I have an 05 and needless to say I have to check the primary chain adjustment.
The HD kit is about $100.00 Looks like a great upgrade and easy to install. Anyone put one of these in? Difficulty? Looks like all that has to be done is to pull the outer primary case off. Pros, cons?
Worth it?
How long does it last?
Thanks in advance.

Several people have installed and like them. Try searching, you will find some info.

Don't have one, but also wonder if its worth it. Primary chains usually don't require much adjustment, and you will be checking it every 5K miles anyway when changing primary oil and clutch adjustment. As mentioned, the procedure is covered in other posts. Would have been nice if they came stock with the automatic adjuster, but that's another story.
