Default What to do with the primary off?

I'm gonna pull the primary this winter to install a 30t sprocket.

What other upgrades can I do with the primary off?

I'd like to do it all in one shot.

SE compensator, anything else?

what year model is your machine??

006 - rotor is two piece - not good

006 and up - SE compensator is a beefy component - not absolutely necessary but good

Hey Mud: As you know I'm planning on doing the 30t pulley myself this winter. What advantages does the SE compensator offer?

When I did my 30t I did as much as possible while I was there but mine is an '06.

New stator/rotor and S/E compensator. I didn't need the S/E piece but it wasn't that much more than stock since I was changing it out anyway.

Baker bearing for IPB.

New model chain tensioner. I believe Harley is on their 2nd revision on this part.

S/E clutch spring.

I'm hesitant to change out the clutch spring because I'm converting to foot clutch jockey shift...

I don't want the transition to be too drastic and I don't want a leg workout every time i go to engage the clutch.

Thoughts?
