Hi, are all the spring plates properly installed.
If not, they will not give enough resistance and allow the compensator to rotate further than required. When switching off the engine this all comes back to normal=> clunck. I have a screaming eagle compensator and don't have this issue. Maybe worth checking it out.
Also make sure the torque of the T70 bolt is correctly applied.

I think you posted in the wrong thread.....

This is an old thread about the Screamin' Eagle compensator installed in a softail, not the Screamin' Eagle Ohlin shocks for a touring bike...
