it does come with a retaining clip so it is not just the glue holding it in place.

 

So what keeps those spring steel clips from coming off down the road ?

I don't want to pee on anyone's parade but I'm gonna wait awhile longer and see how this latest version works out.

 

No more questions!


Now I need to go pull the cover again and take a look.

 

Holy crap! So many people freaking out over a little plastic wedge. Once properly glued in with the special adhesive that thing isn't going anywhere. Also, the metal clip no doubt has a couple small prongs on the inner lip which will grip the heck out of the plastic so it isn't coming off either.

I am somewhat OCD but I don't know how many of you are even able to pull out of the driveway without a complete teardown first.

 

Thank you for answering my question.

As this is the 3rd redesign of the compensator I think curiosity is normal.

 

.....

 

I installed the new 2014 compensator on my 2011 Tri Glide. Glued the plastic piece and put a dab of glue inside the u-shape of the clip before I pushed it on. I took the primary cover off after about 2500 miles for inspection and everything looked good. Parts were where I put them and everything looked like it was getting plenty of oil.

 

If I was trying to get the Epoxy I would get the dealer to order it for me.
Its a 1 time use. And the clips holds it in place while it drys.
I would let it dry for at least an hour.
Then take the metal clips off.

Can't draw a picture. The mechanic completely backed off on the stock automatic adjusting tensioner. Then it would go in place with no prying or trouble.
And he left it loose like that.
Said let it adjust on its own as you ride it.

 

OK, your talking about the chain tensioner.....that makes more sense.....

 

That's easy to say when your only running a stage I 96", some of us have a little more invested.
