Screamin Eagle Big Twin Compensator

Maybe why the IDS didnt work on some owners bikes was because their stock comp was alittle weaker than those that the IDs did cure? Maybe its in the tune also.Hd tried upping the spring tension on a few bikes or at least one I know of and it added to the clatter noise.Hopefully this redesigned unit will fix those bikes and maybe allow that ugly IDS to be put in the "for sale" section. The IDS cured mine but I also will install the new comp along w/IDS and hope the noise doesnt come back. My reasoning for the new comp is to relieve the shock that can be transmitted to crank. Possible slip preventer,or end shaft deflection ?? My bike never had the startup knock,nor lost any starter teeth or damaged the tensioner. This new comp seems to be taking dealers @ a week to get in. Consider it a 200 $ extended warranty.

Pictures of SE Big Twin Comp vs Stock Comp
The difference in design between these two compensators is like day and night. If ever a picture was worth a thousand words, this is a perfect example. See attached pictures and order your new SE Big Twin Compensator soon. I haven't finished my build or riden the bike yet, but if this new compensator doesn't make a big difference I'll eat the old one. I can't seem to get these pictures to upload, can anyone help me out.

Courtesy of GAstreetglide . If this works more pics to follow.
In some of the pics there appears to be what looks like a keyway in the disc. I have no keyway in mine, so I would assume it's some form of camera glitch. The dark coloured discs at the left are stock comp springs. Pic #1663 shows the actual new spring pack with one small one at the bottom. What appears to be a large nut on the end of the comp is part of the end cap, which can be used to tighten or loosen comp or basket. Bolt in center is still primary attachment as is the stock unit.
