SE Compensator

I finally got notice that my backordered SE Compensator has been shipped. MOCO nor the dealers that looked at my bike would ever own up to my stock one being bad even though it screamed like a banshee and sounded like it was being ripped out. Shame we have to fix'em out of our pockets. Does anyone have any idea how much time the dealer gets to change them out? I'd like to have some idea before I take it to them. I rather do it myself but I'm in Florida and my tools and lift is in Tennessee.

Mine ('08 UC) was 2.5 hours (including removing the inner primary).

I'll bet that they will charge you 2 hours labor rate plus the primary fluid and gaskets.

I had 3 bad ones finally the third one I bought the SE and they installed. I think the difference was $90. All 3 measured bad. I think the magic number was .060.
