What primary chain adjuster does everyone recommend M-6 ??

 

My research seems to point to the M-6 as the most popular and most reliable. I am going to install one shortly. I just bought it.

 

I went with the Harley one. Inexpensive and available nationwide if you have a problem on the road.

I also went with the M6 - It's tried and proven reliable - I forget when Harley's came out, but, I doubt if it's been out as long as the M6. Mine has worked very well for at least 6ooo miles. I did a slide show when I put mine in. Click >>>HERE<<< to see how I did mine.

 

Sure, let see the slide show.

 

Check my post above - I edited it with the URL - not really a slide show - just some close-ups. Hope they help. You'll enjoy the project.

 

I had the HB 125 on my '03 RoadKing and I just put the HD automatic primary chain tensioner on my '05 Ultra. Of the two I far prefer the new Harley model. The HB 125 was fine at cruise speeds but at speeds below 15mph it caused the bike to surge.

The HD automatic tensioner allows my bike run with less vibration at all speeds and RPMs and there is no surging at slow speed. It's one of the best additions I've made to my bike.

 

Over the years the M6 has been the industry standard. They have the reputation for being the best for a reason. HD was under negotiation with Hayden to use them exclusively but all of a sudden talks broke off, gee I wonder why? If anyone is interested in purchasing directly from Hayden they sell them for around $109, Wally’s Cycle World has them on special all month for $59.95. Talk about a screaming deal. Those of you who don’t have one should jump all over this. Just passing along a deal…

 

What is the cost of the M-6 vs. Harley tensioner?

Ted...thanks for the great show. Makes it much easier for us rookies.

 

HD Automatic Primary Chain Tension Adjuster $99.95 plus tax, M6 - anywhere from $59.95 up to $109...Catch them on sale from the bigger on-line sellers.
