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!
Features
- Chain shoe machined from Nylon 66
- Active Plate and Back Support Plate investment cast with 4130 steel
- 28% finer teeth spacing (compared to 2001-06 chain adjusters) for more accurate adjustments
- Chain adjustment method same as 2001-06 style stock ‘L’Bracket’ adjusters.
Benefits
- Increases torque by 3.42 ft/lbs
- Reduces primary noise
- Helps prevent damage to the primary
- Improves motor bottom end and inner primary race bearing durability
Fitment
- 2006-Later Dyna Models

Detail
The Attitude Chain Adjuster solves the issues associated with the stock auto chain tensioner on 2006-Later Dyna & 2007-Later Softail/ Touring models. The first moment the chain has enough slack into it to ratchet the shoe up another notch, and thus tightening the chain, it will. One notch tighter might not be an issue, but you don’t have any control of when this mechanism stops tightening the chain. The end result in many cases is the primary chain is so tight that it will start wearing out left side motor case bearings, inner primary bearings, clutch hub bearings and transmission output gear bearings. Our manual chain tensioner allows you to adjust the chain to the proper 5/8-7/8″ (cold) freeplay, and never have to worry about the chain getting too tight. We offer this chain adjuster for fitment with stock outer primary covers.
Note: Check the primary chain tension at the 500-mile interval and then after every 5000 miles. If the chain cannot be adjusted properly, then replace the chain.
