How did you guess?

At this point I checked the crank runout, Dark Horse recommend a maximum of .008 of an inch, although that is with the original chain tensioner, mine is .006 so all good either way. I also had the check alignment in case any shims were needed, alignment was perfect without shims. So I put it back together. Ain't it pretty? I will put the case back on in the morning.

All new compensators require a new stator as the basket for the belville spring is welded to the old one. This being the weakness all newer types use a different system. I went for a Dark Horse motorsprocket as they are regarded as the best plus they will survive performance upgrades which I will do in the future. The inner primary case has a cast lip on the inside which prevents removal of the stator without removing the inner primary, I decided to grind this lip off as many others have done as it makes ongoing servicing of the alternator a lot easier. Here we are with the original stator removed. With the new one fitted.

So here we go. The original setup. Despite what Marcel le manchild says, 60k is good going for the original compensator on this model year, the compensator is the cog on the left. Pre 2006 compensators last a lot longer as do post 2013although the standard self racheting primary chain adjuster can be a problem, as you may see i fitted a Hayden M6 tensioner many moons ago which may be why mine has lasted so well. On inspection there was not a lot of wear on the compensator except for the peaks but the belville spring basket was pretty well shot, this is why it was noisy and i was getting vibration.

Well you need to please your EU overlords.

I can get my bike mot done on the phone.

I could tell you but then I would have to kill you (and make it look like a bike accident).

Mine has hydraulic tensioners. As usual you are wrong on all counts.

Retard.

There will be some tomorrow, I’m currently machining the flange on the inner primary case so I can remove the stator in future without removing the inner primary.

Get a room you two.

Time for a major service and will replace the compensator as it is getting noisy, it’s a wear part but has done well to get to nearly 60k miles, Harley have changed the design but I have splashed out on a Dark Horse Motorsprocket that can be serviced indefinitely for about £30 every 20k miles.

Only homosexuals have top boxes, that and dildo bikes. Oh, and scooters. and Honda’s.

Older guys getting bike licenses, rarely ends well.

That must be why Wyman is 14 points ahead of Herfoss in the points table.

Wyman.

Well you are a homosexual so your opinion doesn’t matter.

Tour Pak.

Just put a touring seat on it, I have two seats for mine. I guess the challenger is made for guys who have a wife to tell them what to do, like bitches called Marcel.

There are two different racks for the detachable tour pak, one that sets it so the tour pak is used as a rider backrest, maybe he got that one.
