Stronger than the original for those with more abusive inclinations!
The BAKER Armored Attitude Adjuster is an insurance policy for your motorcycle in the form of a manual chain tensioner that allows you to set the chain to the proper slack when cold. Be assured that the adjustment will not change, saving you money on costly repairs in the future.
With the stock auto chain tensioner used in 2006 and later Dynas as well as 2007 and later Softail and Touring bikes the primary chain tends to tighten over time. When cold, the center distance between the output of the engine and the input of the transmission is short, putting slack in the chain. The auto tensioner incrementally ratchets up, tightening the chain to compensate. This happens repeatedly. As your bike warms up, the center distance increases, and your chain becomes too tight. A chain that is too tight puts harsh loads on your motor case bearings, inner primary bearings, clutch hub bearings and transmission output gear bearings. If left unaddressed, you’ll end up paying thousands for repairs to your engine and transmission.
Our Armored Attitude Adjuster allows you to set the chain to the proper 5/8”-7/8” (cold) freeplay without the chance of overtightening so you can ride worry free!
