Default Getting Auto Compression release activated

I never thought about it but when I swapped my 96 for a 103HO from a 14 Street Glide, it came with ACR's Bonus... Just bought the harness and the dealer is installing and activating them next Wednesday... Can't wait. That with the new Baker compensator that I just put in this weekend should (hope so) solve my starter grind.

I have C.R. and also went with the starter ring gear kit 84.10 gears. That way I stayed with a new stock compensator and pri chain.
Your bike came with ACR but they were not hooked up??

Acr's are great. Easy start cams are a great pick too for anyone without them.

Bike is a 07, the bike didn't come with CR but I put a 103HO that came from a 2014 FLHX...
Starts so much better and this motor pulls really good, I don't even think about performance upgrades "YET" lol...
The time will come...
