Default Primary chain and spring cup

Hey guys,was wondering if it's time to replace primary chain and compensator spring cup or do you say cover ?Bike's got 70k.The sprokets and compensator look to be in good shape,however I'm getting a squealing noise at times from under the cover so I'm thinking it's the springs in the cup.Unfortunately Harley no longer offers it. Any options besides Chinese crap available? Not looking for belt conversion.Clutch and related parts have been replaced recently.Thanks for any input

Have you looked to see if the part is not available online? Look through Ronnie's HD, a sponser on this site. I bet they have what you need. If someone at the parts counter at the HD dealer told you a part wasn't available, run.

I would not say that would cause a squeal as mine had a slight knocking noise that sounded like it was in the clutch area at the 110,000 mark.
