The counterbalance chains really aren't much of a problem unless you drop a gear too many and dump the clutch hard. This could spin the drive sprocket for the chains on the shaft and put the balancers into an unbalanced state.

I believe you may be referring to the cam chain in the twin cam. It's been upgraded to a hydraulic unit now that is far superior to the older setup with the tensioner pads that wear out prematurely.
 
Thanks Glider, I had read about the bad bearings or the chains eating tensioners and was hoping that had been upgraded. I guess hyd unit really helped it a bunch.
