Well the old compensator looked perfect. I was a little disappointed. I was hoping it was bad and the new one would give me piece of mind. Then I took a test ride. I'm not going to say, WOW, what a difference. But I am pleased with the way it has effected my bike. My bike has always had a loud clunk when shifting. I never worried about it. After the new Comp, the shifts are about a quarter the loudness and from neutral to first is barley perceptible, with no helmet. Top end noise is almost gone. How could this be? Mechanic says the new comp shifts the crank ever so slightly or maybe I should say holds the crank to the left, changing the geometry just enough to make things a little quieter. He said this isn't a certainty but his only theory on why it's quieter. Regardless, it's quieter. Instead of turning over a couple of times before starting it now starts instantly. I'm very happy I made the change.
Monday starts the tear down for heads and cams. I already bought the Andrews 54H cams. They worked so well in my 08 103 SG that I decided to use them in the 110. Bean at Big Boyz did the heads on my SG and I like his work and am letting him do his magic on the 110 heads. I'm undecided about the exhaust still. I like the sound and looks of the SE mufflers and gutting the cats is a probability on the stock headers. I have them for sale but if they don't I will gut them. I am looking at the V&H pro pipe chrome as a possibility. Also have not decided on a tuning device but will check around this week. I am leaning towards the TTS master tuner. Any thoughts?
