Default Compensator and clutc

I have a 2010 Electra Glide it's got 40k miles on it and everything in the primary is stock. I'm looking for suggestions for the compensator, dont really want to go with Harley! Also im looking at replacing the clutch, the current stock clutch slips no matter how I adjust it. My trips are long and pull a trailer with camping gear, i do have a stage 2.
Last thing I'm in Canada...

TIA

Baker comp and not much you can do with the way you load it, any clutch is going to cook sooner or later.

All good choices notgrownup! Try Fortnine.ca for the barnett extra plate kit - and the heavy spring. That is- if you think you need the heavy spring with the new clutch. Id try it without the spring first.
They dont sell the compensators there though- believe me- i keep checking. Your best bet may be to buy directly from baker. I think they have a sale or special on soon. Im not sure....

Maybe all you need is a heavy spring.

At 40k personally I would do the Baker comp and Attitude Adjuster along with new clutch setup of your choice, since you’re going in there to make changes.

I have about 20,000 miles on a Baker Compensator, SE Clutch with SE spring, and running HD formula +. With the heavy TriGlide, 2 up, loaded with luggage. No more Compensator clatter or clutch chatter....

Fortnine definately doesn't have the compensators. I also will be getting the heavy duty spring with the clutc also.
