Default DD7 finding Neutral

Anyone have suggestions, I installed the Baker DD7 and Baker compensator on my 2012 Road Glide ultra, the primary sprockets were aligned to under .003 it ran nice and quiet and very smooth the transmission is amazing shifts beautifully very quiet, gear spacing is perfect. I only have one problem and that's finding neutral it's a bitch worse than the stock tranny. I can push the bike around with it in gear, the clutch pulled in, either running or not and there doesn't seem to be any drag, I'm using the Spectro primary oil I got with the compensator. I bought a new clutch but haven't put it in yet so I thought I would ask if there is anything else I should be checking like the neutral detent ball? My DD6 in my other bike works perfectly.

Hard to find neutral is almost always a clutch issue. Either its adjusted wrong, too heavy primary fluid or an extra plate/disc clutch stack is being used. The best oils for the comp are usually the worst oils for the clutch, LOL. Maybe it's just new and needs time to loosen up

You may not be getting enough release, as stated above most of the time not being able to find neutral is clutch related. If you have a dial indicator check it at the release plate you want at least .070 of travel.
