2011 compensator replace

i Am going to replace my compensator on my 2011 classic and need suggestions on what brand I was thinking Screaming Eagle but am wondering if there is a different product I should use.

We at Baker Drivetrain have our redesigned compensator that would be great for your bike. This is the strongest on the market and will work awesome. We have redesigned the style of it and changed the cam lobe geometry, so it oils and cools a lot better. Check it out.

If you decide to go with Harley, SAVE your old springs. If the new comp starts getting noisy, you can add one of the old springs as a shim to increase spring preload and it will be quiet again.

OP... it's your money... but the Baker unit is $600.... their original design had some issues.... the above post claims the redesigned one is better... maybe it is... I haven't known anyone to run it yet...

You could also buy the latest HD Compensator which requires the oil scoop that attaches to your primary cover... It's part #42200064A and sells for around $300 at a dealer and $250 from online dealer with discount. It is much better than your original compensator part # 83935-09A .... It has been far less problematic than its predecessors and at less than half the price of the Baker.... I would be willing to try the MoCo's newest compensator before shelling out $600 for the newest, untested Baker.....
