S&S Cycle Billet Cam Chain Tensioners - Harley Touring, Softail & Dyna
About S&S Cycle
S&S Cycle has built American V-twin performance parts in Viola, Wisconsin since 1958 — flywheels, carburetors, cams, cylinder heads and complete crate engines. When a Harley owner talks about a 124, a 128 or a 131 build, they are usually talking about S&S. Few names carry more weight with engine builders in this space.
S&S Cycle cam chain tensioners are precision-machined from billet aluminum, engineered to maintain consistent hydraulic pressure on your Harley's cam chain. Featuring a larger piston and thicker shoe, these tensioners are designed to reduce slack and significantly extend tensioner life on Harley-Davidson engines. They are a crucial upgrade for any V-twin with hydraulic cam chain tensioners.
Why riders pick this
- Larger piston for consistent chain pressure
- Tighter tolerances improve stability
- Thicker shoe extends wear life
- Direct chain oiling enhances lubrication
- Billet aluminum construction for durability
- Made in USA
Maintaining proper cam chain tension is vital for the longevity and performance of your Harley-Davidson engine. Stock tensioners can be prone to pressure loss and allow chain slack, leading to excessive noise and premature wear. S&S Cycle's billet aluminum cam chain tensioners address these issues head-on. With a larger piston and thicker shoe, they provide more consistent hydraulic pressure, keeping your cam chain stable and extending its lifespan. Direct chain oiling further enhances lubrication and cooling, ensuring optimal performance under all riding conditions.

- Larger piston ensures more consistent hydraulic pressure on the cam chain
- Tighter tolerances improve overall chain stability and reduce slack
- Thicker shoe design for significantly longer wear life
- Direct chain oiling for improved lubrication and cooling
- Constructed from durable billet aluminum for superior strength
- Made in the USA, reflecting high-quality manufacturing standards
A Proactive Engine Upgrade
Investing in S&S Cycle cam chain tensioners is a proactive step to prevent potential engine issues and enhance your V-twin's long-term reliability. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for riders who push their bikes hard or want to ensure maximum durability for their engine. Installation follows standard procedures, but always refer to your service manual or a professional for guidance.
