Default Cranks longer

What would cause a bike to crank over longer before firing after installing a Baker compensator? It went from hitting the start button and starting to cranking for 3 to 5 seconds before starting. It would make a grinding sound as it was cranking so I replaced the starter clutch and now it grinds AFTER it fires like the the starter isn't getting out of the way fast enough. Flywheel teeth are good. Maybe the PC V? What are the odds of that acting up after replacing the compensator? It Is a 2009 Street Glide with an Arlen Ness Big Sucker intake, Andrews 48 cams and Reinhart slip-ons with a Fuel Moto dyno tune. I am at a loss. Thanks.
