Thanks!

Do you think it is better than the original part? Because it costs like 30$ more than the OEM. I’m not expert enough to see any difference!

thank you

S&S shows they're back ordered, so it looks like your only options are to save that $30 and go OEM to see if it works, or wait on S&S. Worth a shot?

S&S may be out of stock, but using the part number someone probably has one. I had issues with the same noise on mine. Tried Harleys part twice, lasted a while and started with the noise again. I put the S&S part in and it seems to be quiet.

Too kind but I’m not in the US so I’ll try to find something here in EU!
It could be helpful for the others with the same problem though

702, I have exactly the same noise issue as you had (or maybe still have) with your Heritage, but I didn't see where you ultimately identified what the problem was, in your strange-squeal thread.

But here I see that you identified the noise culprit - the counter balancers. I'm curious about where you were able to eliminate the noise, or just decided to live with it? Also, if HD fixed the noise, was it done under the warranty?

I've now had my 2021 RK to 4 different HD dealers, who all initially say "yes - that noise isn't normal" but ultimately say it's not an issue...

Anyway, thanks in advance for your input.

@702 - I should have tagged you in my previous post, please take a look if you would. Thanks!
