baker compensator and attitude adjuster
be putting in new baker compensator and attitude adjuster soon on my 2008 fatboy..have auto tensioner in there now ..was wondering opinions on the attitude adjuster and wondering how often I will have to pull the primary off to check it..hoping bike performs better with the new comp and adjuster, been hearing a spring sound or like a rock when it hits a water tower sound lol hard to explain...going with spring sound when i get on the throttle hard coming from the compensator area...only hear it when i get on it hard on take off..hearing great things about both baker products so hope they eliminate the issue

Mark did you ever get more specifics on this? I am installing the Baker compensator and attitude adjuster on my 2011 electra glide classic and I'm out of spec on chain alignment. It's not by much but not with in spec. Compensator is at .94 mm (out) which is only .18 mm off from the .76mm tolerance. Should the extension shaft be milled down?

I have to concur with what everyone else has said about Baker's customer service. This company definitely understands the true meaning of "Great Customer Service"
I wish more companies were like this.

thanks man appreciate it..Only down side I see is having to pull the primary off to check the chain tension..wish there was a way to machine an access window in my primary case like the older bikes. avoiding have to pull the primary to adjust the chain.I shot the idea to baker to machine a panel as an added service to customers primary cases ..they never got back to me..or said f off stupid *** idea....bakers customer service is awesome thoe... one last thing did you have to pull the clutch basket off to get the compensator and attitude adjuster on..some say you don't have too..just wondering..
