Hello Again.
Thank you for the many replies.!
I went to the shop, talked to the owner.
(this repair shop is a highly respected Harley repair in this area)
So I trust their advice.
The man said that if he could hold onto my bike for one or two weeks, he would get it back up on the lift and replace the bearings
(He said it could also be clutch bearing)
Estimated cost $600 to 800.
So I did agree.!!
My upcoming trip starts July 2.
So. I am excited that bike should be ready in time.
Thanks again for the replies.
I appreciate very much.

Not sure I would do compensator. Id probably do tranny shifter shaft seal
When did Harley update the comp? I still riding the bad style on my 2007 with 80k. Though it's on my mind

The first update was in 2006, ostensibly to handle the power for the pending switch to a 96" engine. They updated it again in 2007, then even again in 2010 (or 2011) when an SE comp version became OEM.
The 2010 version was less problematic than the '06 & '07 updates, but still had some oiling issues.
Finally, in 2014 with the Rushmore bikes, they updated to the best version of the Twin Cam compensators. It is the one easily identified by an oil scoop either built into the outer primary cover, or added to an earlier primary cover as a retrofit, to direct oil to the core of the comp.
It has been far less problematic than its predecessors. It is also the one now offered as the "Big Twin Screamin' Eagle Compensator" for retrofit to earlier Twin Cam engines back to 2006. There are two retrofit part numbers. One for years that need a new rotor for the upgrade (approx. '06-'10) and one for those that don't need a new rotor for the upgrade (approx. '10-'13). The retrofit part numbers are model and year dependent.
