Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my tensioner shoe needs replacement?

If your primary chain is loose, noisy, or rattles even after adjustment, the worn tensioner shoe may no longer hold proper tension — replacement is needed.

Is this a one-piece or multi-part tensioner?

This is the shoe pad only. Some tensioner assemblies have springs and pivot hardware — verify your tensioner design before ordering.

Will this fit my Sportster or newer Big Twin?

This part is for Big Twin models 1965-2000. Newer models and Sportsters use different tensioner designs — check fitment carefully.

Do I need to drain the primary to install this?

Most installations require removing the primary cover and chain guard to access the tensioner shoe. Some riders drain primary fluid first to avoid spillage.
