JUST replaced my original comp w/ SE comp at 30K... Also had to do a lot of other 'primary mechanics' work... Why???!!! Apparently there are at least 2-3 'issues' with 'primary mechanics' and any ONE/combo could cause/contribute to the failures... YOU are lucky not to have needed more 'primary mechanics' work... If I remember correctly your bike has had some mods to significantly increase HP/TQ that may also have something to do with this... Curious if your bike was dyno'd (how many times)... I don't know 'why' exactly but I am suspicious of weaknesses in the 'primary mechanics' (design/engineering/materials/construction) and their (in)ability to handle the increased HP/TQ of the 96/103/110+...
I replaced it with the SE about 1 year later cause its suppose to be BETTER.
What exactly is the "primary mechanics"

I changed out my OE compensator at 5,900 miles to the SE compensator when I did the FM107 kit. 10,000 miles later everything still sounds good in there. BTW - I do run Formula + in the primary.
Good luck.

On my '08 The dealer put a stock one on during warranty at 30,000 miles I asked for a screaming Eagle but they said I would have to pay extra. I declined as I had the extended warranty. Like clockwork that one went out at 55,000 By then the MOCO had got smart and replaced it with a S.E. Traded at 97,000 with Zero problems. I used the Harley Primary-tranny oil.

Do you have something definitive on that? About a week or so ago I got a mass email from John saying they were still working out some quality issues, but he did not put a date on it.
