My 2012 SG has 6000 miles on the Baker comp. No complaints yet, run great. I' m sure mine is the questionable spring. I would put back a Baker's comp if had too. I use to bitch about chain slap or power on and off when feathering the clutch in 1st gear. Like turning left slow in parking lot. That's gone. I think it is Baker's smaller ramps on their compensator. This is big plus for me. I wounder if anyone else has notice this.

No issues with mine.
I had them put it on w/the attitude adjuster during the rally here this past August.
Good bunch a folks as far as I'm concerned and I am sure that they would make right on what needed to be made right if there ever is anything that needs to be.

I am going to wait until the SE goes out again, which it will, it's just a matter of time...then I will give Baker another shot. But....If I'm paying full price, I want the latest and greatest version, not a frickin' leftover like last time!!

I'm sorry to hear that you got one of the bad ones, they were not all bad we got maybe a dozen back with warped springs. That dozen was enough to prompt us to change manufactures so it wouldn't happen again. We warrantied all that came back to us.

If you are not having issues I would not worry about it, not all the springs were bad. If you do have issues we will be happy to replace it.

They all come with a warranty, and so far zero issues with new springs.
