Finally cured my comp. problems. Tried the Harley S.E. and the big dollar Baker unit. Vulcan Works out performs both.

Advantages: Smoother starts, smoother shifts, very quiet primary.

My FXDLS suffered from a failed factory SE compensator at 8k miles. With this compensator eliminator, my bike starts quicker/easier, is more responsive, and I don't have to worry about it failing. It isn't noisier than the stock setup, and I only have a little bit of extra vibration in a very narrow RPM range. For me, a far superior solution that another OEM SE replacement at a much better price.

Steve T Stevens Steve about Harley Springer Softail Rake Kit Verified Purchase

After the Rake kit was installed it made a BIG difference in the bikes handling and cornering turns. Installed on my 1997 FLSTS Heritage Springer. with a side car.

Advantages: Having the rake kit installed made the Springer ride smoother with making left or right turns....

Company did just exactly what they said would do. We are luck to have a company like this available to do business with. There are too many gone.

Advantages: Good personal communication and high quality product.

Ive only got about 30 miles or so since installing (24t on front 58t on rear) what a difference I will commit more when I get a few hundred miles on my 16 flhxs and a few passes down the strip

Installed to a 91 FXSTS and the difference is amazing. A lot lighter on the bars and a more compliant ride over the bombing range that is called Australian roads. Very easy kit to install, I drilled out the original stem (no access to a machine shop to press it out) in 3 steps using a 23 mm drill as the last hole. It was harder to replace the steering head bearings than replace the stem, really it is that simple. Very well made kit.

Advantages: 4 degrees of rake makes for lighter bars, better over imperfections in the road with no real change in ground clearance
Disadvantages: None really. I does state that you can not use the steering lock, but as the original is only designed to keep honest thieves away, I tack welded a couple of high tensile washers to the original piece of the steering lock and use a slightly longer shanked pad lock.

Received my order and was pleasantly surprised at first look, packaged extremely well. Product was a work of art, absolutely beautiful construction, fit was perfect, and the look was fan fucking tactic!
Thank you and congrats for someone to finally deliver a product that lives up to where the quality is much higher than the price. I think these were a steal after seeing in person how well they are built. When everyone sees my horse I'm sure you will be seeing many more orders from this area. Thank you for your effort.

better than new, this comp. eliminator and chain tensioner is a awsome set up, only got 50 miles on them so far, i adjusted the chain at 5/8. time will tell.

Advantages: less noise, less weight, easier to shift and find neutral, easier to start, less strain on starter.
Disadvantages: dont know if it could handle to many power upgrades, i just have a less restrictive breather, pipes and tunner, just needed some reliability, so far its good.

Not much impresses me enough to comment on anything but, this is a high quality kit. The hub is billet, machining is flawless and the bearings have a Timken part number. The machining, concentricity and polished satin finish on the front sprocket is flawless. The rear sprocket is thick and made in USA by a long established sprocket mfg company. The rear high carbon sprocket steel shows the expected cosmetic finish from furnace heat treating of the entire part. Cheap is rarely better.

I installed the rake kit, and I must say, my 2006 fxstsi steers and turns with much more confidence.

Advantages: Handles great, view of bike from the front looks badass.
Disadvantages: None so far, I’ve had it on my bike for over 7 years now.

Why did I wait so long? Runs great only 30 miles on it so far but none of the things (vibration, motor hit, all the things everyone warns about) feels a little more sporty because you do feel a little more motor down low, but isn’t that why we modify? I’m a 2006 road king 88 built to a 103. stroke, bore, S&S 1000 lbs pressed crank, aw54 cams, head work, rinehart true duals, hyper charger air intake, and a power commander programmer with my own hot map. A bump in compression (10 1/2 to 1). Easy install, the nut doesn’t completely cover crank end but noticed it looks exactly as pictured on Vulcans site so I checked thread coverage of factory compensator nut and the same amount of threads contact crank so good to go torqued just fine 75 lbs + 45 deg. Do not leave the washer off.I ride like a jerk went through 3 starters and two compensators all factory Harley. A lot tried to discourage this conversation but so far I love it. I will come back and up date after a couple thousand miles.

Advantages: Hot motor yes yes yes!
Disadvantages: Stock motor old man smooth ride probably not for you!

Went together smooth as silk on my 2004 FXD. My only beef is that it didn't some with shorter bolts for the rear sprocket. Not a huge deal, but i live 20 miles from any hardware store.

Advantages: Parts went together flawlessly. Everything seemed well made. Makes changing ratios simple.
Disadvantages: Didn't include shorter bolts for the rear sprocket.

My billet rocker supports arrived in 2 days. Fitment was perfect and the locking shaft design is brilliant. Super quiet.

I became frustrated with the cams to adjust the Harley drive belt. This is the best design I found during my research.

Advantages: Simple, straight forward install. Approximately 30 mins once the exhaust is out of the way.
Disadvantages: Didn't encounter any.

Excellent part. Does the job its intended to do, matches the E manifold, better than the original rubber version. Well made, perfect fit and very nice finish......amazing for the price.

Advantages: Same overall length as the supplied rubber coated version. Comes with threaded holes, much easier to install than the Mikuni flange.

Highly recommend it.

install on 07 springer. WOW little more work than expected. Getting old stem out 20,000# and still needed a good wack with a hammer. Gound about 1/4 inch off upper tree to fit. Quicker steering. Massive speed wobble after but new front tire and its OK now?? Kept my dust shields just make should they are centered! and not touching! lock to lock! Check them 3 times its easy for them to more a little bit and touch later.

Advantages: Looks great like the front should. Very low watch the bumps and corners until you adapt.
Disadvantages: would have paid more for better machining. Better bottom bolt.

Douglas Payne Douglas about Compensator Eliminator, 25 Tooth, 1994-06 Big Twin Verified Purchase

I have been using Vulcanworks products for many years, this is the second compensator eliminator that I have installed on my Scooters, the first was a Harley-Davidson twinkie, this one is for a Harley-Davidson Evo. The install is straight forward I used the 4709 shim set to achieve proper alignment on both Bikes.

Vulcanworks gear sets do not require the large spacer that are necessary for the other manufacturers sell as "Bolt-On compensator gear set". Once in hand you find that the Primary Chain alignment is off by more than 1/2" requiring the search for a crankshaft spacer and more down time on the bike.

VulcanWorks are a United States manufacturer and stand behind their products 100% of the time. I am not affiliated with Vulcanworks nor paid for my comments. I am just one happy customer! Thank you!

Advantages: These gear sets eliminate the slop in the stock Harley-Davidson primary system by eliminating the factory "spring slip compensator" with a direct drive gear set. Reduced lower end noise and improves traction.
Disadvantages: I haven't found any disadvantages with the two compensators that we run on our riden everyday motorcycles.
