2010 streetglide with a 120r the SE compensator was wasted at 30000 miles using atf for fluid
2013 cvo roadglide stock 110 the compensator was shot at 2500 miles.

I currently am running the latest updated compensator with a .030 shim to tighten it up and golden spectro 80 wt wet clutch fluid in my 124" monster.

On my 2000 EG, the comp is still stock with 110,000 miles on it -- however with that said, during a hard ride on a very twisty road in 2011 the bolt loosened up. I heard the noise and put another 150 or so miles on it till I got to the dealer -- pulled the cover and found it loose and it had already badly worn the teeth and was going to need a new crank.

Permanent loctited it and torqued it down. That was about 40,000 miles ago -- its still working --I no longer hot foot it.

My 09 CVO Ultra still had the stock comp in it with 21,000 miles when I traded it in -- no problems that I knew of.

Will see how the 14 103 does.

Winter in Michigan, I have time. Mine makes no noise, if feels fine. Just nice to know when it goes I have a reliable option. Fix it once and be done.
