Does anyone know of any compensator upgrade that fits the Fat boy?
I checked with Baker and DarkHorse Crank works and neither's upgraded compensator fits the Fat Boy.
The only thing I've found is the TwinPower USA's Solid compensator elimanator sprocket.

I'm under the impression that you kinda need a compensator there, and not having one is a pretty good way to overstress your transmission gears.
Does anyone know of an upgraded comp for the FLFBS or are the fat boys shitouttaluck?
EDIT: there's also this from Dayco, https://www.partzilla.com/product/af...TDRIVES-CS-34A
But I can't find any information about it.

Based on all the failures we have seen, that looks like just the right upgrade! You may want to replace some of the stock mating parts depending on condition.

Is there no air filter in the plenum chamber? He didn't show one but then again I've never supercharged anything.
At even 200hp I wonder how long the rest of the bike would hold together. Be fun to find out!

Fuel Tank Console insert
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement insert for the fuel tank console. That little piece of tin that says Fatboy on it? Or, is anyone out there making custom inserts out of thin, raw stainless maybe? 😬. My girl is coming along nicely, not quite done yet but pics coming soon.
