I've seen this one before when I was researching for a tensioner  it's not too uoun-simular then the Hayden M6 tensioner expected for the price.

Yes, since I upgraded to the 124 on my bike I have had issues at idol with the primary chain "rattling" which sounded like it was about to explode. Dealer tried Screamin Eagle tensioner-same. Then tried Hayden tensioner-same. I saw this tensioner on another forum where guy was describing exact same issue as mine and said this product fixed the problem so I decided to try it, works perfect! I have about 30,000 miles on it now and have never had the issue since. Just today dealer called me and said the shoe was worn (bike in for 60,000 mile service) and they got another replacement shoe from these guys for $15.
 I couldn't recommend it higher!

There are two versions for Big Twins, the HB125 is for 2006 and earlier models, and the HB125-07 is for 2007 to present models.  The other one they show is for Sportsters.
