Compensator Adhesive Kit
So… 60,000 miles on the 2011 Road King and time to replace the compensator sprocket… replacing f the primary chain tensioner and adding a SE clutch spring while I’m digging around in there… anyway a couple glitches popped up (as always) so my afternoon project is stretching to multiple days grrr…. The new compensators us a torx bolt instead of the tried and true hex bolts… it’s a friggen Torx70!! Who the hell has a T70? No one even sells them; now I gotta track one down… but that’s not why I’m posting this… they sell you an adhesive kit (p/n 11100088) to install the plastic oil deflector to the inside of the primary cover. What they don’t tell you is you also need p/n 11100075 which is an adapter so you can get the adhesive out…. WTF? Anybody have any ideas that will save me a trip back to the dealer? Sometimes I hate the Moco… motherf*%@=r…

I used Chem-Set DK-119. Only reason I know is because I had some left. Supposed to be used within 9 months of the date it was made so mine's quite a bit past that. Don't remember where it came from, just google that number. People use other things such as JB Weld and it would likely be fine but I didn't want to worry about it so I got the correct stuff.

Any automotive parts store should have that torx socket. I know you have the glue already but I've used the jb weld 10 minute epoxy a few times and it works great and it costs about as much as the part you need just to get the glue out of the hd version.

thanks… I might try the JB Weld instead of ordering the stupid caulking gun adapter for the Harley adhesive. What about the black RTV silicone? Would that work? Re: The T70… none of the auto parts or even tool dealers have anything bigger than a T60 in stock around here… Just ordered one off of Amazon so should have it by Monday… this 2 hour job just turned into a week lol… good thing it’s February and not July or Id be really pissed

The silicone isn't strong enough. The JB will work fine. I used it on mine years ago. Scuff the metal up well and clean it.
