With the qualification that if you are replacing the stock comp, you also need a new style rotor to go with the new comp. The old style with the welded in coil spring is not compatible with the belleville springs. To the OP, go to a source with exploded parts diagrams for YOUR bike (http://www.shopronniesharleydavidson...REAR|~WHEEL\FR) is popular, and see if the diagram shows the belleville springs. They are very large, curved "washers" between the compensator and rotor and ONLY are used with the SE style comp so they a dead giveaway.
