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.

Thanks for the Pics!

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.

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

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!
