screamin eagle comp question
Just purchased the screamin eagle compensator kit to install on my 2010 Ultra Classic this weekend. Kit number 42200064A. Was just reading over the instructions and it says to torque the T70 compensation screw to 175 ft-lbs. I was thinking the torque was 140. Anyway, my old style torque wrench only goes to 150. What are my options? Buy a new digital torque wrench?

Does Autozone or Oreilly's have a torque wrench of adequate capacity for rent? If you have never "rented" a tool from them before, you pay for the tool (whatever they sell it for) use it, and then return it for a full refund if you didn't break it.
How good are you at ratio and proportion arithmetic and what do you weigh? Start with a breaker bar marked at 12 inches from the driver and 175 pounds. Would be great if that is what you or someone you know weighs, otherwise you need to adjust the length of breaker bar where you put your foot to exert 175 pound feet at the bit. If you have a 24 inch breaker bar you would only need 87.5 pounds on the end to exert 175 pound/feet on the bit.
I'll bet you will be most comfortable with an adequate torque wrench.

95 Ultra if you have any wrench friends in the area maybe one of them have a torque wrench you could borrow. My snap on one goes to 200ftlb maybe somebody close has one. The other thing you could do is get a torque multiplier which would work too

If I were you I would buy the correct torque wrench, besides the SE comps fail quite often so if that's what your putting in you'll probable need that torque wrench again before the year is out to install a new one! I'm on my 4 compensator.......
