This might have been asked before, but I did not see the question asked and answered.

With all of the compensator failures, you would think that one of the capable manufacturers would build one for the new bikes that is designed after the older EVO style compensator. They did not fail that often.

Why doesn't someone make a new one like the old style?

Someone could be rich. I would do it if I had the capability.

 

You mean like Darkhorse? Already in the works.

 

I killed mine in 5000 miles. It was replace under warranty. When It comes time to put one on my dime, I will be upgrading far beyond stock.

 

"When It comes time to put one on my dime, I will be upgrading far beyond stock."

With what?

 

Logically thinking through compensator issues is like herding cats. Some guys run the oem forever, and some guys can't seem to keep a compensator functioning in their bikes. Read a thread where a guy is on his 4th in 30K miles, then the next guy is still running the oem with triple the miles...both bikes about the same model year. Plum damn screwy.

 

Are the SE ones no better? I thought they were the cure-all, but then........

 

Three or four aftermarket outfits have failed just like the motor company?? Only "cure all" is a solid pulley. Of course then there is the pressed crank scissoring issue...
