If not apart from gaskets what else isn't included in the SE kit that I will need?

Thanks.

You will need outer/inner primary gaskets and new bolts that secure the inner primary to the engine. Also some means to lock the (primary drive locking bar?) chain while removing/installing comp bolt/mainshaft nut (left threaded).

Made a primary locking bar from 1/2 x 2 alloy bar.

Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Can't even find an upgrade for 09 and up bikes.

Guess ill have to accept that it needs changing every 20000 miles or so.

No , you wouldn't need to replace it that often, if you would ditch that factory AUTO tensioner, put in a Hayden, Baker, or SE, it will make a big difference in bearing wear.

Ordered the Hayden last night, read some comments on here and decided that the HD auto tensioner had to go.

I just hope it's just the IPB that is toast and there has been no knock on effect to other bearings.

Wouldn't be so miffed if it wasn't nice weather here at the moment, but couldn't wait till winter, that bearing whine was going to get worse real quick.
