Does the SE compensator kit 40274-08, contain the new spring pack and the sliding cam assembly? Are there any other items that have to be purchased to do this conversion on a 2007 Road King Classic. Mine sounds like the primary is coming apart when you take off from a dead stop or lug the engine any at all. From what I have read here, it sounds like my problem is the compensator sprocket.
...and what you describe may very well be a loose comp sprocket and just needs to be tightened up.

Thanks Sniper77. I will check that first, but I have already ordered the new compensator. If I have to go in there, I might as well make the upgrade while I'm there. I just hope that takes care of the problem. I went for a short ride yesterday and it seems like it's getting worse. My next issue is the whining tranny. It's so bad it's getting embarassing to ride through a quiet camp ground or neighborhood.

Nice write up.
I did the SE Comp in my B motor last year and it was indeed one of the better moves I've done. I won't have another bike without doing this mod.
It's a "must have", symptoms or not.

I've got my SE comp coming... I cringe every time I fire my ride up.. it jumps to life so hard and it sounds like someone give the engine a rap with a small ball peen hammer, when it takes that weak stock compensator to the end of it's travel... it's also gotten a lot noisier lately... I'm sure the stock comp is pretty much toast. Doing the chrome inner primary... and the SE comp at the same time.
