The entire primary has been pretty much crap ever since they moved the primary chain out to eliminate the starter jack shaft. My opinion.
And that's why "we" don't don't have to worry about what "they" do.We just do it ourselves.

Innovation in action. That is what this industry needs more of. Looking forward to the introduction of this new design. Judging by the rest of your products this will be a winner as well.

I for one appreciate any company who invests the time and money in R & D to create a product to replace that something that does not last as it should. So a big thank you from me as a daily rider. I need parts that will increase reliability and have always found them worth the money.

Well, if your looking for test subjects you can put me on the list. After installing my forth Comp on this bike I'm ready for something that works and lasts!

This was timely. The ultra just started sounding like a weak spring on start up. Was going to yank it a part during holiday. Might let it go till the baker is avail

C"mon Baker.... If this comp is comin' out in Feb, how about some details...Or some sort of timeframe on the release of details. You know a pantload of riders are on the edge of their seats. Don't be like the tease bitch that gave us blueballs in high school... Hehehe
