I have it, looks pretty good. Won't have the bike back together for a little while, but as soon as it's back on the road I'll post results.

Wont this require a stouter starter? There is a reason for how everything is engineered. Like it or hate it, the reason exists.

exactly. You might not feel anything, but your crank will know the difference.

Curious how this works out I doubt the crank like the bang that happens either...

the bang at start up will eat your starter,it's all the low rpm torque pulses that will tweak the crank,the comp is working all the time to soften the pulses.

Default BDL comp sprocket – I have it on my bike

I put it on in June, after coming back from Rome 110th celebration. On the way back the original one (NOT SE) started making more noises then I have used to.
Did not want to support poor engineering (I believe MoCo should have recalled the bikes with old weak compensator and replaced it for free, but there are many threads here on this matter).
So I went ahead and bought BDL one, despite not having found ANY info here on forums. The thing looked very solidly built to me, I put it on and never regretted this.
So far its been on my bike ('09 FLHTP) for 20.000 km, I went to Normandy and Greece with it, no problem, works as it should – and no start bang.
Mind you, it HAS a spring of sorts – teflon ring that compresses under load and smoothes power pulses. So as to being smooth, it works like its intended, no way it rides like a NO COMP bike!
Just two days ago I put the whole primary apart to replace the burnt stator (see pic), and have not found ANY signs of excess wear – no metal on the magnet plug, no broken teeth on starter, nothing.
Good product indeed.
