SE Compensator
Since it appears that the SE Compensator will now be standard issue on 2011 baggers, I was wondering how many people have already upgraded to it on their older bike.
I have an '09 and I am thinking about installing one. Can anyone tell me if they upgraded and if so did you discern any difference or improvement in either noise or performance?

in a lugging situation it handles it better
feel the power smoothly and more effeciently translate to the rear tire,,less downshifting too
still some "normal comp noise but more of like the sound of an old rollercoaster(wooden ones) but maybe less alltogether.
less vibs as well but hard to quantify at this point.
sort of like the ids,sort of like a stabilizer....
btw...here i am with a breaker barr ready to take origanal comp off and there couldnt been more then 40 pounds of torque WTF! on the origanal comp bolt. so i just gave the new one about 100 lbs of grunt,,backed it up and gave it about 140 ft/lb worth of grunt and called it a day lol

It may be, but I'm not positive if the tooth count, gear ratios or final drive are the same. I'm pretty sure that the same part number that I am looking at would cover your bike too though. If you haven't already installed the Isolated Drive System, I would probably do that first.

I did the IDS last year. WOW, that was real improvement! If the compensator is as big of an improvement I am afraid I might think I am riding a BMW or something...
