Not sure I'd want a solid sprocket since I also lost rear wheel damper? How about the belt drive compensator replacement kit?

New Castle H-D sells the adhesive and caulk gun adapter needed to apply it.

Part numbers are 11100088 for the adhesive, 11100075 for the adapter.

I was able to get the glue from my local dealer no problem, you don't need the adapter just a little ingenuity. I have 2000 miles on it,just opened it up all looks go.

The dealer replaced mine with this kit yesterday under warranty. Bike is a little over two years old with 8627 miles on it. I can tell the difference but I'm sure thats mostly do to the fact the one they took off was so chewed up.

I just installed the new 2014 SE compensator on my bike. Haven't buttoned it up yet, due to working and weather, but thought I would show some photos of the finished product. I did the 2 part adhesive install of the oil deflector on the cover and after it dried, that glue is harder than the plastic deflector. As long as the surfaces were clean and oil free and the proper application of adhesive was made I don't see how the deflector will ever come off of there. When I pulled my old compensator, which was the previous SE version I installed several years ago, I found that red rust type crap on the inner bore. It did have oil in there too, but was showing some slight wear also, but not near as bad as others that were pictured on other threads. I use the Syn3 oil so maybe that helped, I don't know. Had about 8-9000 miles on the old SE comp. The auto chain adjuster, which I had upgraded to the latest version several years ago, shows nearly no wear and the chain was not too tight or too loose so it appears to be working fine. I also changed the clutch spring to a heavier one since I also put in Andrews 48H cams.

Notice the bead of adhesive around the edges of the plastic deflector.

Should have the new SE one next week (ordered from kutter). My old SE one is wasted (got some good wear on inner primary) after less than 20K miles. Wish there was a "real" fix???

I'm adding a Compensaver oiling tray to my 2014 SE compensator, not taking any chance.

Unless it turns out the the hub oiling holes should have been made a little bigger, this one looks good to me. I have over 45,000 on the previous SE comp but I did the shade tree modifications to mine to get oil into the hub bore. That is why I believe this new design should do the job. The little plastic funnel is strictly to catch and drip sprayed oil into the hub, it is NOT part of the drive train. Casting or machining one out of aluminum or stainless steel would do nothing but add expense. I will leave it to those with more mechanical experience and knowledge than I have to make the final determination, but the way I see it, the load never comes off the needle bearing thrust bearing and the little lube funnel should keep it well lubed along with the hub. The concern about the needles getting loose seems a bit unrealistic to me.
