intermitant knock at idle low end.

Even if you replace with a new nut, have .030" shaved off the end. The reason Jeff's comp nut would not hold the torque value was because it was a bit too long. So when torqued to spec, the clamping torque required to keep the nut tight was not achieved. Refer to the pictures Stray Dog posted and you will understand. Torque value achieved but the nut bottoms out before the necessary clamping pressure is achieve and over time, the nut loosens up.:hii

I need to edit the above post. Jeff's problem was not as indicated above. Just noted that his bike is an '07 and completely different primary and compensator and what I posted applies only to the early compensators. The later compensator problems and fixes have been well documented on the HD forums. Apologies for not catching that Jeff's bike is a later model.

OK, my bad. What I posted did apply; don't know how I got '07 out of '05 but was concerned that I had posted some inaccurate information. Thanks for the correction.:hii
