Wouldn't know, but should be able to tell you in a couple weeks, as it's obvious I've got some issues with mine

===========================

Yup,the comp on my 09 flhtcu w-9,700 miles on it looked like yours in the pic & was toast.

I installed a new SE comp kit along with a GMR Compensaver oiling tray mod that provides additional oiling to the SE compensator in hopes of extending its srv'c life,10k + miles thus far with the new SE comp & NP.

Happy motoring!

Scott
