Oh yeah- that’s funny Rhino! Who upshifts at 2500?
All seriousness aside, I heard that the SE compensator is a little more stout than the one that came on my 103?
Comments?
I don’t think I’m interested in an eliminator sprocket. She’s built for comfort, not for speed.

Yup, The Screaming Eagle compensator has gone thru quite a few upgrades and has gotten better if that is the route you want to go
But have a look here also, this one is rebuildable

Ordered the Darkhorse Man O War sprocket. I’m intrigued.
My stealer didn’t have any SE compensators, BO until first week in Aug. Same with Darkhorse from Fuel Moto, not available until at least Aug 2nd. I went straight to Darkhorse, they took my money, we’ll see what happens.
Did a plug check on the pimary, lots of metal on the the Dimple magnetic drain plug. The few ounces of oil I drained has the dreaded metalflake look. She ain’t going anywhere.
Question, should I replace the chain? You know, new sprocket, new chain. Then new clutch basket too?
I figure the existing chain(46000 mi) has reached it’s happy place as far as stretch. I’ll have to babysit a new chain for a while. How long do the chains last? I guess this chain is full of that nasty oil…I have a nice Rekluse clutch in there. I love that thing, especially in heavy traffic. Guess I’ll take it apart and clean it good.
I sent a note to the folks at Darkhorse asking if they prefer spring tensioner or manual adjust.

I would replace the clutch hub bearing If you can get one .

Good idea, thanks. I’ll add it to my list.

I would change the chain for peace of mind

I'm running the DH comp and when it was installed, shop also did the chain.
Right now I have a Baker adjuster but trying to decide if I should go Bach to the newest version of the automatic or maybe try the Motorway Vulcan manual.

I had the dark horse in mine it was great seam quiet smoother more torque , but when my motor went south , I talked with S&S they said you should run a compensator because the stock crankshafts SUCK , I went with a Baker compensator , a stock Harley primary chain adjuster , I put a 2016 clutch hub which is a lot more heavy duty than my 2020 was , I could not get a clutch hub bearing at that time for the 2020 and put in a new chain , At idle I hear a little noise, pull the clutch in and it stops , I think they all do that ?

Had a Baker comp in mine originally. It galled a month or two after the warranty time. They said "sorry". Asked if they would like it mailed to them to take a look, they said no. Went with the DH compensatory.

The Man O War comp showed up in just a couple days. I asked them what chain tensioner they recommend, they said use OE.
So new chain, tensioner, clutch hub bearing, oil deflector(2011didn’t have) coming from H-D.
This is a thousand dollar repair. Ouch.
On the other hand, I’ve never had an out-of-service failure in 48000 miles of smiles.
Installed a mechanical reverse a couple years ago before the motor had a chance to crap out.
I’ll let y’all know how it feels after I get it running.
