Default Compensator Eliminator

I've a 2008 Ultra Classis with Road Trike kit and was a dog. Just past week removed the stock compensator and installed a Evolution Industries eliminator a "wow" what a difference it made. I stopped at local friends bike shop and he programmed the speed sensor etc and all great. No more chugging from a stop sign etc, plenty of power and barely any noticable 6th gear changes. It was a big win for me. No in response to you all that have engine upgrades I cannot give any help there. Mine is a stock 96 with fuel injection and I could not be happier so far.

You dropped 4 teeth on the engine sprocket 6th took a hit, no barely about it. What you did get was a much more useable power range overall, these thing are way over geared stock because of all the ninnies crying about vibration if the engine goes over 2200 rpm at highway speeds. Good for you.

Default 6th

Not really bothering me enough to worry about 6th. I'm good. Runs about 2350 at 60mph.
