Ok,probably too early know but i'm going to ask..How are you feeling about that compensator you put in? I just hope for your sake (and soon mine) that they put their best foot forward before putting em out there. I mean lets face it it's still a "Frankenstein" by nature but is it working? Or is it just the best combo i.e.The latest SE comp, compusave and then some form of chain adjuster? Maybe I just answered my own question? What a PITA! Hahaha!

All I can really say is I think Baker and their employees are a class act - products seem well thought out and they always try to keep improving everything they do. I had to get my sproket retainer milled down to get the alignment right and Baker did this for me fast and for free. I think their requirement for alignment on the comp sproket and clutch basket is just another indication of their attention to detail.

I know they had some issues with the company that used to make the spring washers but I am pretty sure that if anybody who bought a comp and needed the new springs for a high hp build - Baker would take care of them.

Hey HD Pilot, I am getting ready to change my clutch pads out for the Barnett Carbon Fiber ones with the extra plate, can't afford the whole clutch work like you got and I have no plans to bump the engine anymore then maybe with cams. I am also going to be installing the Baker Comp, now that you have been running yours for some time, can you provide any feed back on it?

Baker does their homework and backs their products - I had to get my compensator motor extension shaft milled down to meet Baker's install specs and they did it for me quickly and for free.

I used to run the Alto Carbonite +1 clutch kit and it worked fine for preventing slip but the smooth shifting and easy clutch lever pull of the Bandit Sportsman is tough to beat.
