They're hit and miss. Some have no problems at all, others have issues with over tightening. If it's not making unusual noises, enjoy.

You basically have about four choices.  The stock Harley self-adjusting ratcheting tensioner, the Hayden spring loaded tensioner, and one of the manual tensioners that require periodic inspection and adjustment.  Harley offers a manual tensioner for late model bikes in the SE catalog, and Baker Drivetrain offers one as well.

If your stock tensioner isn't presenting a problem, why are you looking to replace it?
