love my Man O War comp. Had a Baker, never was right. Put this on almost a year ago. Will never have anything else. No noise, no clunk, easy to find neutral. 2013 Ultra.

Bob and tam, i just now going through this myself. Looking for info on KZfaq. You guys handsdown have the best info video on youtube for the moan o war engine sprocket. Greqt job !

These guys sound like they know what they're talking about. Some great into there. Great video

These guys seem real solid. Definitely a good replacement. Thanks

I’ll be calling you Andrew, my dark horse is very noisy when operating and we did all those assurances. Great video and very informative……

Awesome video! They kno what they’re talking about!! Bob an tam great as usual!❤️

Talked to Andrew personally to order a crankshaft. Excellent company. Super nice and built me the perfect crankshaft

Thanks for a great vid an a lot of infoe I have a 2007 ultra screaming eagle CVO ,low mileage on it when I got it, so far all is well, thanks for the vid an I read a lot of the comments,lots of good infoe

You won't give up on this baby I know you love her 🚀🙏✌😇🤘

I have a 2013 ultra classic, I replaced the factory compensator with a screaming eagle at about 32K I'm at 69K right now and its just starting to make some of the tell tale noises (the clunk when you shut off and getting harder to find neutral) I've been looking at this option very seriously, I like the fact that its rebuildable, I think this video has convinced me, thanks for the video guys 👍

Outstanding information and video.

Thanks for the video, learned alot.

thanks for all the info will be updateing my comp soon

Good video and information. Thanks!

It's a crying shame Harley Davidson HASN'T rectified this problem.

Some one listened to kevin baxter at skunk works.

Lmao I mentioned when all this started, you needed a compensator it acted and sounded just like mine did. Completely dismissed it hey your the expert tech.

Great video! Any idea what the part number for the correct rotor is? My bikes an 09 softail and has the cup on the front with spring pack.

I like your tech videos very interesting

I just installed a Dark Horse Man -O -War on my 12 RG,extremely satisfy to date,also install an hydraulic tensionner SOHB from Oregon at the same time,,,,,and had install my Man O War kit and a HUGE MAJOR improvement over the SE compensator kit I installed last year, not comparable at all,now my bike ride like it was mean to be,not cutting corner like MoCo did to save money,had problem at first with the bolt length that was bottoming due to Loctite in the thread,life is good now ,for those who read this,and tired of the oem design.....

Andrew is awesome. I have worked with him on two bikes. Their work is legit. Little O

Awesome video thinks you guys

I bought one from the States, could not stop it from making this horrible noise. Run out less than 3 tho. Was a waste of time and a lot of money. Another mate bought one as well, same problem. Went back to the stock comp. Almost no noise. The only way to stop the loud noise was to adjust the chain bone tight. Mechanic said I would eventually wear bearing and do serious damage. STRUGGLED to get any real help from the company. They called it neutral rattle.. 😢

I just looked in my 2008 Buell Thunderstorm parts book they call it a Rotor Sprocket Assembly 38tooth .. Do they not use a Compensator in the Thunderstorm engine ?

Installed @ 70k on 12 ElecGlide on advice of Kevin Baxter Easy install. Excellent operation. Now have 96k miles. Trouble free. I do get the rattle they warn of if your bike is in neutral and the clutch lever is open. Meh, no biggie. Love the ride.

I will install with my current Handen. Ordered everything I need yesterday. I see some people using the Haden but I still have the stock tensioner if I need it.

Can you please elaborate on the rotor issue please? I installed the compensator and it’s crazy loud, I didn’t check the run out but maybe this is the issue? Love the compensator but it’s extremely loud, guess I’ll check the runout… thanks for the video it’s very helpful despite the more questions I have.

im reading alot of different experiences guys have had once installing this dark horse compensator? its very loud? I definitely dont want more noise! if its going to make the bike get into neutral easier and less vibration than thats a selling point but what would make it louder and noisier? $500 + for more noise in primary doesnt seem like a good buy for me...i think I may just upgrade the chain tensioner.

I need a dark horse crank then I’d feel better lol. I have the man of war on and only have a cam upgrade but to nervous to go more cause I’ve heard it mess the engine up with these man of war comps on They say use HD compensator but switch the sprocket metal out for George Bryce 400 sprocket metal piece

My Buell shifts better than most Harley's because of the Genius of Eric Buell .. He changed the Sportster engine over to Double shift rails ect.. The best way to get my Buell into neutral is to do it while coasting @ 10 MPH or faster. It's harder to get it onto neutral when you are at a standstill. I recently adjusted the clutch and tightened up the Primary chain . My Yamaha FZ-07 shifts like Butter compared to the Buell.. It shifts so much better than the bikes from the '70's and 80's that I was used to riding ..

what will happen if I run the MoW compensator on my 2015 Road Glide with S&S easy start cams? Is it a serious problem? Or is it something that rarely happens?

Great video! 09 UC here, my stock one is still ok I believe, easy neutral & not too much noise. One noise I do get is occasionally on hot restarts I get a bad clunk & smoke out the air cleaner, buy if I lay into the starter button it usually starts fine. What are your thoughts? 41k miles, 103 TC, 510g cams, SE Phat Shotz, thanks!

wish they would build one for the early twin cam, I have an extra spring in my 95" stage 4 2000 fxdwg... seems to work but IDK

i have a 2012 103 stage iv, i have replace 3 compensators 3 times in six years. I will have to give this a run. may have make a trip up there from lubbock Texas, so y'all can fix me up.

Guys....I installed the Man o War and I'm have much more vibration at hard acceleration. Is there a break-in period maybe for the VITON bushings? Don't get me wrong...I like it so far. Don't have the tapered torx bolt in yet, or the oil deflector...hard to find them, waiting for shipping.

Why would a Man-O-War not work for a 2000 Heritage Classic? I am looking to replace my existing compensator, but the Dark Horse website states it does not fit a year 2000 Springer. Baker is the same way. What can I do?

So did that fix your second noise? They didn't show if anything was wrong with the stock compensator.

Yall can keep the Man o War comps! I put one in and pulled it back out after about 500 miles. Couldn't stand the noise it made. Now I'm stuck with a $600 paper weight.

Thanks for the video. Pretty soon and you'll have a brand new bike...LoL

I put a Baker Compensator and their Chain Tensioner in my 12 because I wanted to make my bike ‘bulletproof’ and now the primary whines so much it’s starting to drive me crazy. Baker doesn’t seem to want to help me, so I’ve got $800 tied up, and I’m not happy.

I have a 2015 Fatboy and it's got just a little over 22,000 miles on it as I write this. Which is 07/24/2023, and I have seen other videos about the Man of War compensators, and was thinking about getting one for my bike. Though it doesn't make any noise right now, but' I definitely would like to get one. But' I just can't afford to get one right now, because at 500+ Dollars is a lot for me at the moment. Yes' I'm sure some are going to say' it's better to spend the time to get one before I spend a lot more money later. Easier said than done. But' I will get one as soon as I can afford to.

What The Correct Torch For 2016 Roadglide Ultra Primary With DarkHorse Compensator?

Anyone know where you can get the tool to check the run out.?

I have a 2011 FLTRU, I assume I will need a oil deflector, where can I get one? Harley part number?

Buongiorno questo compensatore è adatto per trike harley davidson flhtcutg anno 2011? Grazie buona giornata

Hey Bob and Tam, I have the EXACT same 2014 CVO Ultra. I have 40k miles and I'm getting a fairly loud tick/knock coming from the area of the compensator. No trouble finding neutral but the bike sometimes sounds like the battery is low when I start it. Does any of that sound familiar to you and do you recommend this new compensator now that you've had a chance to ride with it? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks very much!

Why did you not go with a manual chain tensioner?

Thanks Guys! Now get it broke in 👍🏻!!!

90 k on my stock one when will it need to be replaced?

I love Man O War products

I would like to get to 1 for my 99 rk but didn’t c 1 listed.

I have a 2015 ultra. At 2,000 rpms I get a whining noise from the primary only when i decelerated. It’s been to 2 different dealers. They said some bikes make noise. Can’t stand it.

What are options for 05 twin cam?

How do I find the oil deflector piece. Or is it in the kit?

That chain deflection looked more like 1/4in am I looking at something wrong?

I don't understand how the compensator issue made it hard to find neutral? are you able to explain how that effects finding neutral

What am I missing? You wanted a half inch of chain movement, you had a quarter inch and said it’s good?

Dawns here 🌞why are no other women here? I really feel at home in a garage and Working on machines is second nature to me.

I have the dark horse and a 130 T man nothing in my 2020 is stock except the crank and gear box you can just run to 5g on rpm through every gear and be at 140 mph on gps runs awesome put frame stabilize on as well was windy day i did that pretty sure will get way more out of it but with wind started getting some front end shack so back it down so good enough for me well probably never do the again next time i decided to redo motor there will be a dark horses crank put in and bike will be halled frome Michigan to South Carolina and having T MAN do everything or do my self harley dealer did a good job on motor but tore my motor down then put my bike back in corner in a dusty were house with no cover and tuck 3 months to get back and had 2" of dust on it with finger prints all over it and when i dropped it off all parts were there wont take back there every again I will drive 16 hr one way to make shure my bake is in good hands.

Whats the deal??? Some, like this video, push hard on the primary chain to achieve the half inch while others use their little finger to lift the chain half an inch. They both can't be right. I loosened mine and the 2nd gear clunk disappeared. What to do??? Can I get a little help plz?

I have a 1973 flh. Can this compensator work for that model

is there any of the gopro footage

Now I Know Where Andrew Went After His Previous Employment

Just say it,Twin cams are a poor design,still riding a EVO,no compensator problems no plastic chain thingy problems,I hope the Milwaukee 8 is better,it's def fast.

The other huge component is the crappy chain tensioner.

Out of stock online,probably be better get speeds install it anyway 👍👍

where are ya'll located

Sounds like compensator

In my humble opinion, the Torx bolt should be discontinued, All of the Torx on GM brake calipers, have been superceded with Hex bolts because of a Very High Failure to be removed without damages.

Hey Guys ❤️💪🏻

👍

Why didn't you turn on the bike to show the people that difference in sound

Nothing for Evo bikes 😢

Wheres the Light Horse ? I"m with The Light not the Dark

Motor Co. puts a compensator in for a reason to absorb engine pulse , take it out something else has to do it, say no more.

You mentioned getting false torque readings but never said what anything is torqued to

Change out chain tenisoner

Gee wiz...for $18 replace the darn bolt. Do you understand what happens to metal when torqued repeatedly to 175 ft lbs? Cheap insurance.

r u serious ...you dont even crank it up after the install ...really !!!

Not a really completely informative video here. One, there's no mention of cost. Two, there's also no real explanation of what is meant by this "rotor" replacement. I'm assuming he's talking about the stator rotor. If so, what I'm seeing in this video doesn't look removable. More info or an example would have been nice.

Sound Sucks

Why are you doing a video with guys in the background making all kinds of noise...come on guys!!! Jeesus

Hey Guys ❤️💪🏻
