HD stopped selling the -B tensioner a few years back. The -C is all they sell for the late TC.

I've had the C version in my Dyna for 6000 miles. Time will tell but I think it's OK. I adjusted the clutch recently and the primary chain tension felt fine.

Same here re the "C" version. I've checked the chain tension several times on my '09 RG and it's good.

I have been running the Baker manual adjuster since 2012 without any problems.
How many people running these and how many miles on them would be the question .

I have read some stories of them failing, but there is alot of them out there. When my comp. fails i am going with the Baker.
