Can I buy them at a indy or will I need to buy off the net?


Those gaskets are good for at least 3 on & offs as long as it's not damaged.

I guess I could replace the primary chain while I am in there but never priced one.

Thanks for the write-up on the tensioner, it was helpful.

A new chain is about $75

I have 50,000 miles on my bike and just installed a m-6. I didn't have to use any of the shims. Put 500 miles on it and checked the measurement and all is good.....

I hope the updates keep coming. Having just replaced my IPB 3,000 miles ago, I would really like to know if the Hayden M6 will keep my IPB from going out again. Would rather spend $150 now then $600 later.

How common is the failure rate on the IPB just out of curiosity?

TUCCI-My 09 Ultra has 75000 miles on it and I'm on my 3rd IPB. If I remember correctly, the first one went at about 35k. The second went at about 60k.

what year is your bike?...what mileage did it go out at?

depends , from what i have been researching, if you have a 09-10 twin cam..you will be replacing it anywhere between 15-35 thousand...

I have an 09 SG. IPB went out at 34000 miles. I like the idea of Hayden m6 because I plan to keep my bike for many miles yet. If bearing will fail either way, why invest in the Hayden? Just trying to figure it all out.
