Default Baker Comp (Availability)

My Indy called Baker for a Comp & Rotor for my '09 Ultra... I guess they are back ordered for 3-4 weeks. Anyone know a shop that may stock these parts and have them available?

Seems like Baker themselves would be able to tell you this.

Baker's website probably has a dealer locator on it, that might be of use to you or your indy if they are interested in helping you find the parts.

Thanks... I did both before posting out here. Didn't find a dealer locator on their site, but they did say to try Eastern Performance which I did... who also doesn't have any left. Looks like I'm just going to be waiting... not a huge deal, just was hoping maybe someone knew of another option.

I'll just wait the 3-4 weeks and call back. I don't need one now, I just want to replace the SE one I have as it's
noisy and annoying. Wanted to try the Baker.

Why don't you call Baker and ask them if they know a dealer with the part you want?
If they are too dull to do this, give them the part number and ask them to get off their asses
and run a sales history report to see what dealers bought them recently.

Even Baker doesn't seem to stock Baker parts. Always a wait for their compensators. Which is why I installed a Harley Screaming Eagle comp for half the money and no wait. The newest version works great, I have over 40 K on mine with very minimal wear.

I have been waiting for a Baker grudge box since early February, I have been given several different dates and as of yesterday they have no idea when they will get their parts to build the trans. It's very frustrating to have the money and time I have spent on this bike only to not be able to ride now that the weather is turning. I put about a thousand miles on the bike at bike week in Arizona and bent the shift fork at least, because the bike has as much horsepower and torque it's too much for the stock trans. Who would have thought that a standard part still being promoted by a company would not be available. 4 plus months going on 5 seems a little ridiculous to me. Problem is there's no competition.
