Has anyone tried the hydraulic chain tensioner from Southern Oregon Hot Bikes?Thinking about trying one out to go with the SE compensator.

They have just become available to purchase, so a few are getting them but no reviews yet.

jam65,

I plan on installing their new wedge design chain tensioner this winter and give it the test. The wedge design just became available as rbabos stated about 3 weeks ago. The HB125 (sump design) has been out in the field for awhile and the feedback has been all

on them.

I have the HB 125 Works GREAT.....You can really tell the difference. Have not heard anything about the new style though.

The 'new' wedge tensioner looks like an exact knock off of the HD Auto-Tensioner. Wonder when the HD legal hammer is going to fall on that shops head.

Isn't that the spring/ratchet type wedge adjuster with no hydraulic workings?
I have an 07 Dyna and it is spring /ratchet auto adjust.SOHB has a patent pending on this device.
