I’m using it on my 2009 road glide to correct dimensional difference between left and right side swing arm pivot bolt to rear axle that can’t be corrected with the stock cam type adjuster

Harley should have stayed with that type of adjuster in production; the cam style is very imprecise and I've often thought they could be a big contributing factor in many of the rear tire wear and handling complaints on Touring models.  As usual, Zipper's is very proud of their parts and the price shows it, but if you're having problems getting the rear wheel aligned properly at least you have an easy option now.
