Just wondering is there any after market compensator available not made by MoCo that fixes the weakness? Seems like there would be a market for it.

I would say that since the compensator is not viewed as a "performance enhancing" item (more HP or more Torque), I doubt there would be enough market to justify the engineering, manufacturing, and marketing.

Went to the Rivera Primo Brute III Primary Belt Drive kit on my '91 FLHS. Trading that in next week on a 2007 RK with a 103 incher so trying to stay with the chain drive for now.

I do like that primary belt drive and getting rid of the primary oil mess and getting quicker response.
