Compensator on 2014 Street Glide
Does anyone know the torque value and procedure for the compensator bolt on the 2014 models? I'm doing a chrome inner primary cover install and the value isn't in the instruction sheet that came with the cover.
I am asking here because I ordered a new service manual and it hasn't come in yet...I have a manual from an older Street Glide but I know there is a new bolt in the 2014. Any help is appreciated

No mention of locktite at all on the compensator. Page 5.7 in the manual.

Yeah they mention it for the clutch hub nut but nothing for the compensator bolt. I wonder if the concern is getting the locktite on the stack up components of the new system or if 175 ft.-lbs. is tightness enough?

I noticed there is no lock nut on the clutch pack, I assume because of the hydraulic actuator....can you give me the procedure for removing the clutch please. If anyone has the removal instructions and can email them to me I would greatly appreciate it...now that I have the outer cover off I really don't want to reinstall and wait for my service manual to get here. Thanks

Not sure about the new one, but when I put the SE Comp in last summer, the bolt had the red loctite already on it.

You said you were doing a chrome inner primary " cover" install. You don't have to go into the primary, much less fool with the compensator, simply to install a chrome primary cover.

Well, apparently I used the wrong word. I am doing a chrome inner primary "housing" install. I realize that to put a simple cover over the existing one does not require tearing apart a big chunk of the engine, transmission assembly.
