dawg...<<<Glad I don't run a compensator. Just hints toward my theory being correct that compensators do more harm than good. JMO>>>

so you run a direct drive...?

How do you like it...?

2 years on my direct drive since my build and I haven't had any problems...

Sorry for re-opening the thread, i
just opened the primary yesterday to change the rotor (new springs) on my 08 dyna. And notice this too, anyone have a permanent solution? Before I spend some more money...

Pretty normal. After 100,000 miles I put a Bandit Sportsman clutch in mine. Problem solved. It never got worse once it got to where yours is.

So if a bought like a drag hub it’s just throw money away? Mine has 40k miles. I don’t have any plans on selling.

does your bike have the Original automatic chain tensioner still in it? If so thats is your problem. The tensioner ratchets up tight and no way to release and causes chain to pull clutch hubs inwards. I had to replace mine also because of same issue. I went with a Baker Attitude and that was 2 yrs ago and not had any issues since.

Yeah... already know about this issue, it doesn't look overtight. But I’m considering the baker, getting this new one from the lowbrow guys and the baker tensioner. Hope doesn’t blowup again...

what’s it is “IPB” sorry, I’m located on another country, so I don’t know every possibilities to this issue, just to popular (compensator, stock tensioner, misuse of the drivetrain).
