Compensator
Copied this from the Touring section.
Ive replaced one compensator on wifes TG so far, this was not available then.
I dont know how to post a link to the whole thread, maybe someone else could do it if they think there is intrest in the whole thing.

I thought this was old news by now, but here are some drawings of the newly designed compensator, the oil passage efforts, and the oil deflector:
The 2014's have a metallic deflector forged into the primary outer cover in the same place the retro-fit plastic deflector will go in pre-2014 models. I would say that marine-grade JB Weld should do well to hold that piece of plastic in place. (but only after the proper cure time) If you noticed, it looks like it is also held by some kind of metal clip (which in my opinion is not very robust looking at all).
As I said earlier, how can oil pass inward toward the splined shaft when centrifugal force wants to sling it in the opposite direction? I don't see the angle or orientation of the grooves as a solution to this problem because the centrifugal force is always present and would, in my opinion, overpower any potential oil entry from the outside of the assembly.

Only certain models came stock with the SE Compensator such as the TriGlide.. I think it is stock on the 103" bikes now. Its been discussed here I just cant remember where. Someone can chime in here who remembers dates and models im sure.
FLTR, Thanks for the additional info.

I heard a clunking noise when starting(my clunking may sound like a rattle to someone else) and sometimes on shut down ,
