I was on this forum 8 years ago with compensator problems and picked up some great info. 60,000 miles later the problem is back and so am I. Already having some luck with a shim fix on the spring tension for the Screaming Eagle upgrade that is problematic.

I bought a new M8 on a 2017 Road Glide and it sounds a little funny but is strong.

I have the original '94 Road King in Aqua and Silver with a little over 100K on the clock. My daily rider is 2017 Roadglide.

Too hot down here in Ga. to ride mid day but nice in the mornings. Another six weeks it will be nice day and night for a while.

2017 FLTRXS
