SE Compensator
I currently have 42,000 miles and 5 riding seasons on my 07 Road King. Bike is running fine but was wondering about changing to a SE Compensator once riding season for me is over. Is it something that will make a noticeable difference? Is it something I should do even though I'm not noticing anything that would indicate the stock compensator is going bad? You guys that have changed out to a SE Comp. please let me know your thoughts.

I replaced the comp in my 08 Roadglide with the SE version. I have a warmed over 103. I notice less "bang" when hitting the starter button but other than that I don't notice any difference at all.
If you are not having any problems I would not change it.

For my 09 Ultra Going to a SE Comp was a smart move no more dreaded Bang when starting it warm and less overall noise in the primary as well .. I don't hear well and was hearing this just fine .. If you don't have any problems are probably fine leaving it be ..

No mechanic here. Just love riding. So don't know what you mean. I guess I mean it has the OEM comp. that came on the bike when I bought it. Haven't changed it.

I have never had the 'bang' on startup but I do get the sewing machine noise which does seems a little louder than it used to be but considered it probably normal for a Harley.
