Was it the newer revised comp or BDL's older unit? They had problems with their older one's.

Where are you in Oregon? I'm in Hillsboro and I would like to see this broken compensator, I was actually considering installing one of these units.

Not that I mind making the trip, because it is a good ride, but you can e-mail me pictures at marq541@yahoo.com
I don't think you have enough posts to post pictures yet or to send them through a PM, so if you send them to me I will post them. I may coordinate with you to ride down in a couple weeks. Like I said, it is a pretty trip.

Thanks. I know how I am and many others on this forum are also. A picture is worth a thousand posts. If the BDL has problems we want to know about it.

good or bad, it seems like the BDL company does not stand by their product. My 2 cents. I don't do business with sh*t *** companies.
