As I mentioned in my original post on the subject, I have no doubts about the capabilities of the actual adhesive.  The issue will be in the preparation of the surfaces and the adherence to the process instructions for mixing and applying the adhesive.  For every person who actually follows all the instructions to the nth degree, there will be several who do it the same way they apply things like wheel weights:  wipe the rim with a halfway clean shop rag, peel the backing off the wheel weight, and place it on the rim.  Two days later do it all over again when the weight flies off.  That's the scenario that plays in my mind when thinking about this compensator deal.  I've worked decades in the auto industry with people who applied adhesive secured parts, and I've observed and reinstructed a large number of them when I found them to be taking shortcuts and not following the process.  It tends to be human nature, especially in our culture, to always think you know more than the folks who designed the process and wrote the instructions.  Next time you have a nameplate, decal, tape stripe, or wheel weight come loose you can most likely thank one of those folks who thought they knew more than the engineers.

You are correct. May I suggest that when squeezing out the glue, squeeze out about an inch or so and throw it away prior to application.  Also, after cleansing the surface of the cover, go over it again several times with alcohol until you are getting no black on the cloth. Let it dry at least 1/2 hour before applying glue. This is what worked for me.

This is an afterthought but for those who are skeptical about the glue, why not drill one small hole in the primary and install one button head through the primary and plastic tray after glue dries?  Extra insurance and button head is hardly noticeable. $3.00 button head sure beats beats $350 for new cover.

I purchased a rotor when I did not need it as my ride already had the SE (A) version which came with the proper rotor. Too late to return. I have it listed in the for sale section if anyone needs. Thanks.

Hi Guys, If you go on the Lord website (they manufacture the glue) they say to push the glue out with a gun until both glue and hardener are both present, then put the mixing adapter on and away you go, I did that, cleaned my primary case in my parts washer then cleaned the area with alcohol wipes let it dry and then proceeded to apply the glue and fix the oil catcher in place with a clamp, then set about replacing the old comp with the new one (buy the way did not need to remove the clutch basket), took it step by step, all in all about 1 1/2 hours by then the glue had set so completed the install without primary oil, left it a couple of hours just to be safe then filled primary with oil, gave it 6/7 starts just to check for anything out of the ordinary, nothing found then left till next day, by now glue fully cured, have done about 100 miles everything seems fine, much better starting with the new comp ( I also have the baker high torque inner primary bearing and Hayden BT-07 chain tensioner ), so lets see how it goes, fingers crossed.

Your chain must be looser than mine. I had to remove clutch basket and remove as a unit.

BDL - Belt Drives Limited - makes a compensator that I've used for about 1000 miles on my '12 SESG.  The original HD compensator was in bad shape after only 5000 miles.  Before I traded the SG for an Ultra, I removed the BDL comp and put it in the new bike.  It seems to work well; it's quieter than the stock unit and the magnet on the primary drain plug wasn't covered with metal shavings like it was with the POS HD compensator.  I paid $140 for it, but I think it retails for around $200.  

Here's the link:

http://www.beltdrives.com/chcomp.html

I couldn't find much chatter about it on the Internet, so I don't know about durability.  We'll see.  So far, so good.




Any update on how this BDL unit is performing???

So what's the bottom line for my 2009 Fltrse3?

#42200064 or #40274-08A?

And what about rotor issue?

My 08A lasted only about 3,000 miles before sounding like a jack hammer again. Installed the 2014 version and have had no problems in about 4,000 miles. Against all advice, I did run a small bolt and nut through the glued on part and primary cover. Can hardly notice since nut is hidden behind shifter arm, but I know that it is not going anywhere. If interested, send me a PM and I can take you step by step.
