Yes, Froggy's right, I should have been more clear, The 2011's started using the SE comp but I was only replying to garfly's post who has an 09.

I have a vulcan works sprocket installed on 08 RK and I like it.

stock comp shot at 25K, SE shot at 65K, I installed vulcan works solid sprocket and now its got 75K. I wish I would have bypassed the SE and went straight to the vulcan sprocket. shifts, starts, runs well. running the stock adjuster with the original stock shoe. everything seems fine. stage one with a proper afr lets me cruise down to 55 in 6th gear with the engine pretty smooth. course its sweet spot in 6th is a little north of that. shooting for 100K by 2018 with stock motor, stock clutch, stock gearbox, stock belt!

I'm looking at the Vulcan Works too for my '09 FXD, *IF* the stock sprocket ever gives me any trouble. It'd be a *hell* of a lot cheaper than the SE/Baker combination (Sorry Baker, but folks in my situation simply can't afford it), and it's simple as hell to install compared to even the stock setup.

Smile vulcan update

just turned 86K with the vulcan. I do the primary oil every 6K and still nothing remotely like a problem. just run diesel rated 15-40 mystic semi synth from fleet farm for $2/qt. shoe looks good, chain no wear. I did do knew plates and belt with smaller smaller front sprocket and smaller belt for lower rpm and quicker response. no ill effects from the vulcan.

its got my recommendation.
