Default compensator sprocket

I've been trying to find a source for an aftermarket compensator sprocket for a 2013 Deluxe. Stock sprocket is 34 teeth so I thought I would try a 33 or 32 but can't find anyone who sells them. Any help sure will be appreciated.
Thanks

Won't that throw off your primary setup? Fewer teeth means the chain will be looser, and I'm not so sure the tensioner setup can compensate without some problems. Plus the speedo will be off... it goes by engine speed I believe.

Speedo goes by the 4th gear in the tranny.

Yea. I don't know if you wanna mess with the teeth in the compensator. That's gonna affect your primary drive. I'm just guessing though. Interested to hear what others say.

On the Dyna's we changed the main drive gear to a 30T from a 32T. It made a world of difference. I have not seen any posts here except for some-one's signature saying they have tried it on a Softail.
