Default 2014 compensator

First ride today with new style compensator. Wow
Super smooth and all driveline slack gone. Hope it lasts but initial impression is great.

Any chance you could post what year and model bike you put it on, or add it to your signature? Helps me determine if it might be applicable to me...

Thanks.

I have just developed a loud knock or bang from the primary on start up on my '12 Ultra. Other than that it's quiet. I take it this is the compensator bottoming out at startup. Only 8k miles on the bike. Is it time to replace it or should I wait until it starts banging at times other than startup. This is one issue I didn't think I would have to deal with because it had the new and improved compensator at that time. Now there is a new, new and improved compensator?
