Really needed this video. Thank you!

*promosm* 😂

Check out the instructions or youtube videos before you try installing that

We appreciate you so much!!!

thank you for the video it was a big help. God bless

C-clamp to get it started

I have the same switch but having a hard time wiring it up, which wire goes to the flasher , purple or yellow , is there a wire diagram

Where did you find you turn signal switch?

Hey I am literally about to do the same thing on my truck, do you by chance remember how long it took for you to do all this more or less?

When they pressed the old tie rod ends out which side did they press on? Old ball end(top) or the flat side?

Great video on how NOT to install Hayden tensioner.

Thank you for the video. It helped me out.

Anyone do wiring harnesses in Cali close to Colton, Fontana, Rialto , Riverside?

I need a harness put in my 57 chev truck, where are you located in California?

Everyone I've ever watched do this or read their story say to NEVER heat that thing! It can weaken and distort the metal. Yeah, it might make it easier, but this is one place you don't heat up.

I have a 2012 Road King with about 40k on it and just became aware of this potential problem while doing my research on a cam swap. Going to change out the primary oil and see if I can take a look through the derby cover. Probably going to a be project in the near future though with the same tensioner, thanks for the video.

The way how not to do that and finally chain is overtighten, there must be a space 9,6mm 3/8inch between shoe and base, less space means unhealthy tension, if you chain is too short lathe hole in base of tensioner or don't use it

Great music 😉

This video reminds me of an old Chevy Chase movie

your a dumb ass.

I replaced mine about a year ago and it worked fine for a few months, but have given me problems with not staying in the turn signal “mode” - I have to hold the lever to keep the signal flashing.. how has yours held up?

NASA calling you,,,,, (they need an engineer)

You did great dude. Don't be discouraged by - comments. 99% of us are rookies on this job. Learned plenty. Thanks.

Got a 1958 chevy apachie,Would like to know where you got that assembly... sweet video !

I’m glad police didn’t attack this protesters with paper sprays in riot gear

Hows the Hayden working? I put one in my 2012 ultra a few years ago.The first one they sent me made the chain way to tight. I called Hayden and they sent me some shorter springs. That made all the difference. It seemed to work well but I sold the bike so I don't know how it held up.

bad ass man!!

E for efforts, lol every one seems to be wearing gloves now days. Can't get those hands dirty. Lol

Awesome video! You're giving Chip Foose a run for his money! Good thing you don't have to worry about FCC giving you a rating for language content. See ya soon!

Impressive 😏

You have no idea what your doing.

BRUH I see all these videos about the primary chain and tensioner but I wanna know one thing. Why in the hell is Harley Davidson still using a chain primary drive system? Clearly a gear drive primary system is less work, less maintenance, and smoother running, then HD can use the same primary cover for appearances.

Go tropical thunder

You should get a job at a Harley Davidson dealership, that's exactly how they do it, and fuck things up

Good job man- I like that you said I am not a professional- thanx for helping out your fellow riders

LOL He didn't even read the instruction lol like my brother is the same way...

Thanks great vid. I have a 2000 fatboy can i use that tensioner

thanks dude.

i zip tie mine to compress the spring it slide right in then i screwed in the right screw first and then i used a screw drive to pry it up the left side with very little pressure..then screwed it in to snugged the bolts in first without loctite to check the chain tension then unscrewed them and added loctite. re-screwed them . and then i torque them to spec then cut the Zip tie very simple ... blue loctite..

Richard, what was the reasoning behind putting that tensioner in? was it the clunking in gears, hard to find neutral prior to the install? Great video, love the listening tunes Rock on Brother :)

Awsome video mate. Good to see rookies doing their own repairs and showing others. Thanks mate.

personally i don't accept this unit as a better than stock ratchet system, as primary chain flops around like a dead chicken....better off with screaming eagle manual adjuster..

Thanks for the upload, man! I'm like you, per your Vid Desc: "I am just a backyard mechanic and I am learning by doing work on my own 2009 Roadking." P.S., Still listening to Van Halen? LOL

Great informative video and great music to boot. So, how many miles on the bike, to prompt you to change out the primary tensioner? And have you inspected or changed out the two other PLASTIC tensioners, on the two silent chain drives for the camshaft on the pinion shaft side, since those tensioners have the same mileage as the primary side tensioner? When you do, that job, you should make a how to video also. Inspection is not hard to do, but, the actual change out is much more complicated, involving finding top dead center on the pistons, and lifting the pushrod tubes up and taking a bolt cutter to the four pushrods and replacing them with adjustable, pushrods, so, you don't have to remove the fuel tank and the rocker box cover and rocker boxes to take out the pushrods from the top. to get to changing out the outer silent chain drive and the inboard one, inside the cam support plate. And you should change out the cam shaft bearings while you are doing the change out of the tensioners. And don't forget to check the crankshaft run-out on the pinion shaft after taking off the oil pump, and seeing if it's still within spec, which should be no more than when it was new from the factory, set at 0.001" or less, with a dial indicator. Anymore run-out than that, will show that the crankshaft has twisted and is out of true, which can happen on the TC engine, since, the crankshaft is only pressed together, without the crank pin being either welded, at the factory, to keep the two halves of the crankshaft in true or with a crank pin bolt and nut torqued down to keep the crankshaft in true, like the older single cam H-D, used to have that kind of arrangement to keep the crankshaft in true. At 0.003" or run out on the crankshaft, damage to all the bushings and bearings inside the engine will begin to be damaged and once the crankshaft has come out of true, it will just keep getting worse till the engine craters and seizes up on you, and you wouldn't want that to happen while at highways speed with a locked up rear wheel and a cratered oil pump spewing out hot oil all over the rear tire, that would be bad, bad, news, for you. Don't go by the H-D, run out specs of up to 0.010", as shown on the Service Manual, cause they changed the spec from a max run-out of 0.001", a few years ago, to disguise the fact that the crankcases are not bolted together, instead of fixing the problem at the factory. At 0.010", you won't be riding, as the engine will already be gone. Just a heads up. Again, great video.

Thats why you have starter pegs to hang the gasket on hang the cover put your bolts in remove pegs add bolts and tighten.

It Looks like junk! I wouldnt put that in my bike if it was given to me! a half ass part with springs in it! You got to be kiddin me! OK I take that back MAYBE for the putt putt rider but for performance no Thank you! I want an adjustable solid mounted adjuster no spring loaded parts.

Thanks Richard. Great video helped me heaps. From a fellow rookie backyard mechanic

Richard Schlegel - Can you please help me understand why you are doing this? I am a new rider and am trying to learn how to work on my bike. I am not sure what this is for. I too have an 09 FLHRC with 9100 miles on it. Thanks in advance.

You're absolutely correct I own a older ironhead and when it got hot I was embarrist how it would sound clankity clank even my.cut off drag pipes wouldn't cover that hidios sound I put a m/6 tensioner in and no more bag of marbles if that company made a bike Hayden I would start saving for one it was the best money I spent
