Default Baker Compensator mileage

Hello all, It's time to change my Compensator (got 22K out of it on my12 SG) Beeing told should go with the Baker kit. Are these lasting longer than stock or SE Comps? Just wondering how many miles some of you have on yours. Thanks.

(as an aside, you know you can subscribe to a thread without posting in it? Near the top right you'll see a pull down labeled "Thread Tools", you can choose to subscribe to a thread. Then choose whatever notification you want. On most threads that I watch, I choose no email. Then, when I want to see if there are new posts in the thread, I just click on the triangle next to my user name in the upper right corner and choose "Subscribed Threads", and I can see if there are new posts there.

That way I dont junk up interesting threads with "subscribed" posts.

Just a suggestion. )

Once you get the compensator installed roll the chain around on the sprocket a few times. Making sure the chain rolls smoothly across the sprocket not trying to "hop" off at any point. There have been a few that were noisy after install and a new chain eliminated the noise.
