i posted this in a thread i started in the drive train section but i guess it doesnt hurt to post it here too. originally i thought i was hearing my ipb going out but it turns out it is the roller bearing in the tranny. i took a look at it today
here is the extension part on the stock compensator. it is 06 dyna but the rotor is an 07
this picture is the worst of it

Yours should be simple compared to my old Tour Glide, what a pita to even get to the fork caps; the instrument housing is stuffed with wires and air suspension parts. Haven't pulled the primary cover yet, almost afraid to. Hear so much about worn compensators, wonder what I'll find on this '89 with 122K on it. Fairly new engine put in before I got it, but the owner didn't know if the compensator was replaced (the transmission was!). This project is already running over $2K, as always, about everything I thought might have to be replaced, is, and of course there's the unexpected, like the frame welding, both pulleys... Bet if we bought brand new bikes, we'd be into them in a couple years, so hard to be satisfied with what you have.

soft
when you got you new shaft was it the same as your old one
Mine is slightly different
the shaft has a small step up to keep the race from drifting inward and the race that comes with the kit has a slightly smaller inner diameter
my baker bearing fits loose on the new shaft where it will ride but fits perfect after the step up
i was really want ing to use the baker bearing but now i am not sure. it seems loose
the shaft transitions from .975 to .985 and it looks like the bearing will be on the smaller diameter

Good question. I will check it tomorrow. I know in 08 they changed the shaft diameter. Hope you didn't get a 08 shaft. I'll spec mine. I have a tranny day thread in the tranny section.

I have the SE comp and that made a big difference then about 2 months ago i put the Hayden tensioner and it made a little difference...i can see where it's better than the stock tensioner...

they must have changed it
i dont think you can see it in a picture
it makes me mad, because i dont see any way to use the baker bearing now
so i am back to the stock IPB
the gearset is already completly rebuilt with all new bearings and clips, new main shaft
