Baker Built Belt Tensioner

[fencepost]

Installed the new Baker Built Belt Tensioner on wife's RT yesterday, very easy install. Remove belt guard (Torx bit #27) for access, remove 15mm nut on lower shock bolt, install kit, put roller on and center on belt, re-check all bolts for tightness. Test drive to verify roller is aligned on belt, re-install belt guard.

How does it perform?

My little test ride to verify roller alignment indicated that it works as advertised. This is my wife’s ride so I cannot speak to any of the performance issues as weather has not permitted us to get out on a performance run.

Feed back would sure be helpful.

I would really like to hear back after you get to try it some more if it reduces harmonics in the drive belt.

Where did you get it? I don't see it on the Baker Built website.

Haven't got a lot of miles since I put one on my 2013 RT, but I will say it is a pretty straight forward install UNLESS YOU HAVE A SPYDERPOPS BELT GUARD ALREADY INSTALLED! :gaah: Also, the roller tended to rub just a bit on the factory belt guard. Solved that by taking a file to the lip of the guard. Not a big deal and you can't see the file marks unless you lay on the ground under the bike. Most folks won't be doing that! :D
