Default Which Compensator

I have an 07 Ultra. 96" w/6 speed. 49,000 miles.
What compensator is being recommended? what chain adjuster?
Baker, Hayden, Screamin Eagle? Mine is original. Stage 1, rhinehardt true duals, Andrews 48h cams. Rattles like hell since new

I'm to lazy to write a long winded answer, so I'll just post a link.

Get the SE compensator package for your bike that includes the new rotor assembly if you haven't already changed it.

I'm running the older style SE comp and so far so good, but once it goes I'm most likely going w/ the Baker comp.

As for the tensioner I a switched from the Hayden M6 to the Baker because when your hot rodding a lot, like me, and motor is built up I think the Hayden gives to much when loaded. The baker you set at the right tension and you know it ain't going to low under load.
