Don't disagree with installing compression releases; they extend battery and starter life. However, static CR is really not the criteria for deciding if CRs are "needed" or not; the criteria is CCP. In the OPs case, even with 10.5 static, CCP is about 9.3 193 psi if his listed specs are correct. At 9.3 193psi CCP, IMHO, CRs are not "needed" but they certainly won't hurt particularly since the heads are already prepped for them.

When I was having all kinds of starter grind issues, my dealer installed 1 manual CR on the rear cylinder, it made such a difference and let the bike crank so much easier, . When I swapped my engine to a 2014 out of a FLHX it came with the auto CR and I had the dealer wire it to activate them and the bike starts so easy. I can tell the starter doesn't struggle at all. Way Mo betta.
