No, install was easy on both the comp and the adjuster.

Did you have to shim to align the chain? Or was this the earlier kits?

Also does anyone know why the hell the dealer sells a new comp kit but wont sell you whats considered an install kit for some plastic thingy to oil the Screaming Eagle comp? The glue is in the install kit and they wont sell it to anyone? WTF

You need to check this with a straight edge no matter what comp you install. My Baker ended up using one shim like the SE comp I took off.

Not sure why the dealer does not sell the install kit and I don't recall ever reading online a reason. If I remember, next time I'm at the dealer, I'll ask.

But you can order the adhesive yourself. It's called LORD Maxlok MX/T6 Adhesive.

Or do what a number of other people have done and just use JB Weld which is available at any number of stores (Big Box stores, Walmart, auto stores, etc).

Im sorry to ask so many questions. I appreciate your insight. Does the dealer sell these shims? Are they simply called Comp shims? Thanks Again....
