I got 2 Questions
1. How long does it take to dry the 2-parts adhesive? Instruction said 30 mins, is it long enough?
2. Do I need special socket? The instruction mentions T70 socket, bolt looks different than your pic shown. Is mine a newer design? My part # 42200064a they said 42200064 has been superseded.
Thanks! Alex

Thanks!
One last question, does 30041-08A include in this kit? I was reading instruction and found the following. Does it mean I have to buy alternator rotor? I have a 07 Dyna.
items mentioned in text, but not included in kit: Alternator rotor assembly, as required

Just an FYI, I bought my compensator kit for my '08 this past week and it came with the alternator rotor. Just be sure you are getting the correct kit, and you won't need to worry about missing parts.
My kit, with all required gaskets, including inner primary gasket and shaft seal, was a bit under $600 Canadian.

FYI,1st i want to say i have no stake or stock in this CO or know anyone affiliated with it either.
Ok,with all the trouble many of us (including me!) are having with the compensator on our bikes i was very excited when i came by this new product designed to address HD's compensator issue and wanted to post this so everyone here in the HD forum has a chance to see it and make thier own decision on if they think its a viable product or not and or to buy/install it or not .
I know it's has been mentioned here & there in posts in this forum but it gets lost in those posts as its not the main subject.
But since it looked like such a good product to address the comp oiling issues on the HD i could not resist posting it here to ensure everyone see's because it looks as though it could greatly reduce failure rate while also greatly increasing reliability / srvc life of HD's heavier duty SE comp .
It looks to be one of the best if not the best aftermarket upgrade i have seen that " directly addresses the lack of oil issue " that the comp see's on the HD.
I would not be surprised if you never have an issue with a comp again on a stock to even fairly hot/modded HD running HD's latest design SE comp with the additional oiling this product provides.
It's designed to work with the current replacement SE comp on the market today.
I ordered it the other day to install with the current Se Comp on my 09 FLHTCU.
Here are the links to it with a little info on the compensaver and a few 1st hand use testimonials from guys that installed it too.
So chk it out and let me know what think!

What it is
================================================== =====
Some feedback on it with some guys that had mult comp failures in short timeframe/not many miles:
Posted on HDTALKING March , 2014
The idea of the "Compensaver" and the way it is made to oil the needed parts that usually run DRY/and Rust, is a BIG Improvement over the old "A" SE compensator replacement that I put into my 09 King. I grooved my compensator face to get some oil into it BUT The COMPENSAVER would have really helped on mine, even when I'm using the "A" SE replacement compensator.
NOW combining the Newer Comp. with the lube holes and the CompenSaver is the Cats Meow...
It IS just like Hoople said to me before he left this forum ......" The compensaver is A Quality Built/Best Idea item he ran across that will do the Oiling Job and Prevent/STOP Fretting..."
NO Guilt in Giving Credit where Credit is Due.... Products that help us out like the COMPENSAVER does, should be Broadcast here for all to see....

What it is
The CompenSaver is an oil delivery system to prevent premature failure of the Harley Davidson compensator #42200064A on the Twin Cam engines produced starting in 2014. The compensator is retro fit-able from 2007 through 2013 model years. Cast in high quality steel.
What it doesThe CompenSaver redistributes lubrication to the working surfaces of the compensator that has been thrown out due to centrifugal forces. It supports and enhances the capillary action created by the Harley compensator by providing a generous oil supply to the interior of the assembly that otherwise is receiving an inadequate supply of oil to properly protect the spokes, cam and cam splines plus increases the oil supply to the oil intake at the end of the retainer providing a consistant oil flow to the sprocket bore and thrust areas.
What it prevents- Excessive wear of the contact surfaces
- Fretting
- The composite thrust washer reduces noise produced by the metal on metal roll thrust bearing
- greatly reduces damaging metal debris in primary assembly
- Unnecessary costly repairs

I have been running the CompenSaver in the primary of my 08 FLHX with a 148 hp 124" engine for the past year and I run ATF fluid in my primary.
I went thru two SE comps before purchasing the CompenSaver. My hope was to add it to my primary to try to cure my SE comp woes.
With the purchase of my 3rd SE comp along with the added CompenSaver...my primary has operated flawlessly and has not made a peep ever since I installed it.
I had my primary apart again this past winter to do a final drive chain conversion from the belt drive. I was absolutely amazed at the condition of my comp once I had my primary opened up. It had no galling or fretting anywhere and looked as good as new with a little over 5000 miles put on it.
My first two SE comp's only had 1500 miles on each of them before they started making a terrible racket...and once I pulled them apart...both comp's were basically dry with galling and fretting. They both were terrible condition because they were not getting any oil to the inside them.
Now with the CompenSaver added to my primary...my comp is enjoying a bath on the inside everytime I start it up.
I couldn't be happier with the results!

Setting up my ’08 FLHX with a 117 motor, and a performance clutch system that requires ATF. I was very concerned that my new SE compensator wouldn’t live long. Seems that no matter what lube is used, the SE compensators don’t have a very long life. After seeking options to prolong the compensator’s life, I decided that the GMR Compensaver would be my only option, and best chance of getting life out of the SE compensator. After 7,500+ miles running ATF in my primary, the compensator looks great, and performs as it should. There’s no other option out there for getting lubrication into the compensator that they desperately need.

I like others have had plenty of problems and complaints from customers about the new style comps. Noisy, galling, worn out before they ever get off the dyno. The compensaver address these issues and after checking my own after 8000 miles of run time on it. My comp still looks like the day I put it in. Absolutely no noise and I haven't had a customer complaint about the ones I have installed. Great product.
