Nice setup, let us know how it works

[Mr. Warlock]

Very surprised that we've not seen any real world reviews for the BAKER Compensator Kit yet. It's making me wonder if there's nothing good to report? Hopefully it's everything most are hoping it will Be.

Go on to Harley Tech Talk HTT, there are apprx. 24 + plus pages of posts from the inception to finished, not to product being delivered. It looks like a good product.

 Well, I have some real world experience with the Baker comp.    Is all I can say. The boys and I just returned from a 4000 mile trip to the Smokies. ( Tennessee ) Had the comp installed just before we left. I tell you I did not hear a peep from it the entire trip. From screaming the bike on the Dragon to blasting up some of those long steep hills, total silence.  Not even that nasty clunk when you turn your bike off. So far so good, and I am very happy. 

  I did hit a dead deer on the road in Virginia doing 90 at night. Thank got the bike sliced through it and I stayed up. Bloody close man.

It takes sometime but site will take pictures from I phones, I do it all the time.  I learned it takes patience to let them load.

All the folks using phones to load pictures to the site could do themselves and those of us viewing the site a favor by reducing the size of the photo's.  Every phone I've seen sets the default resolution/size to the maximum, and these days that can result in large files that take a long time to upload and download, and when displayed on a monitor result in pictures much too large to fit the screen, forcing the viewer to scroll back and forth and up and down.  I'm not familiar with any normal consumer monitor or laptop that displays over 3000 pixels in width, and yet the latest phones will produce such images.  IMHO a more reasonable size for internet viewing might be 1280 or less.  That will also have the beneficial effect of faster upload and download times, and will also use less storage  space on your phone.

Take a look at the settings for the camera app in the phone and if it's set at the largest size, reduce it to a more reasonable setting.  If you're taking photo's to be printed and you really need the highest resolution, then set it back to the highest setting.

Just a thought and a suggestion.

Neal can set the software on the modem to resize the pix. It's a plug in that needs to be loaded and installed.

So I'm going to have to spend $400 on new compensator, then $100 for new rotor, then $200 for compensavor to fix this mess?  2009 FLTRSE3

Did you update your compensator to the HD SE compensator since you bought your bike? If you did, then you would not need a new rotor. As that kit came with the new style rotor.

Any real world feedback about the Baker compensators yet?

[LC110]

Mine is to be shipped in 10 days or so.. Will report back after I have put some miles on it.

I installed one in a early 2010 and he loves it so far. The bike is quiet once again, he claims it shifts better also. He only has a few hundred miles on the compensator so far.

It is a straight forward install. I had to remove the inner primary bolts to get the rotor out. I'm not certain if they all have to be done this way or not. Since the bike was an early 2010 the rotor had to be changed.

Took out my SE compensator and installed the baker the SE looked good though I have a few 100 miles on the Baker and its very quiet so far so good, the SE would make noise and kick back every once in a while the Baker seems much quieter, still running the stock adjuster.
