Default Mudpuddle Stator/Compensator Changeout

Mud,
I was reviewing your post for the stator/compensator changeout that you did on your bike. Great job on the photos and the post. I did not see a part number for the new rotor, do you happen to have it? Also, did you notice any improvement by using the SE Compsenator vice the regular one?

Thanks,
Bart

BB, the new SE Compensator Assembly includes the rotor (picture below).

2006 Dyna Stator is not compatible with this Package.
Use 07 up Stator - part #30017-07.

I did not notice any significant difference over the original.
Other than the fact that all of the components are considerably stouter.

Some folks say power transition is smoother with the Screaming Eagle Compensator.
I had zero issue before install. Still smooth now.

Some folks say the SE Comp eliminates starter "clunk/bang".
I did not have any starter problem before install.

mud...........................

Mud;

I've seen lots of photos in lots of your builds/mods, and they are always amazing in framing, focus, lighting, etc. Can you share any secrets? Camera type, any special lenses, any formal training?

I appreciate your getting back to my question in rapid fashion. Now I can start to put together the parts that I'll need to accomplish this. Thanks again!

Can you share any secrets?

Camera type,

any special lenses,

any formal training?




Thanks for the compliment pk. Appreciate it.

Your Signature Shot is a real good example of good composition..........

Last question first.... no formal training here. eighth grade education.
Snapshots are a family tradition, and I have always been a hobbyist.

NowaDaze I am a strong believer in documenting.
Digital photography is perfect for this.

Camera type is important to me.... get a good one.
Right now I am shooting with a Canon Rebel that I bought about 4 years ago.

special lenses??
only a telephoto (example in the work shots below)

I need to run some trials with the filters I have bought but never used.

secrets??.......... not really............

I like cloudy daze for outdoor shots (most of the time)

I always use a tripod, and the remote trigger.

Square up your shot.

Don't frame out part of the wheel.

Take a lot of shots, including different angles.

pay attention to the background,
..........for example, recently I was shooting the mudGlide with a colorful graffitti wall behind.
the paintwork was on the side of a Mexican Food Restaurant here in SATx.
I kicked a few beer cans out of frame,
and used a stick to flip a pair of panties out of range (red arrow below).

.
.

.
.
reflections can add an extra dimension.........
.
.

.
.
I like a contrasting and/or colorful background.
and, again, shoot a couple different angles..........
.
.

.
.

.
.
here following are some self portraits, at work.
telephoto lens from about 80 feet away.
Majestic Theatre, SATx, 70 feet above the floor.
again, snap several shots, some will be rejected.........
.
.

.
when *shooting* with a live model,
keep a sharp eyeball on your subject.

you never know, they may have had a change of heart,
and have a sharp eyeball on you...........
