37800 miles.do't hot rod it . S&S 510 gear cam. got a good 170 ft. pound torque on a new bolt. the old bolt did not have a shoulder on the bolt. but the new ones does, p/n 3368 $5.78 harley calles it a screw.it had blue lock tight on it. i put 3 drops of red locktight o the inside of the blue lock tight.

should i istall Drags solid compensator? i have oe and found the instructios o-line

i've replaced the compensator with a screaming eagle one. i've replaced the auto (OEM) adjuster with a manual one . with 1/2 " chain slack still getting noise and ratteling sound from the primary.

a year ago i had the shop R&R the inner primary because had stress cracks behind the OEM compesator.

is there a break-in period for this compensator?some say you have to ride it 50 miles.
 
When did the rattling noise begin?

You say the primary was R&R, does that mean it was replaced?

Was a new inner primary bearing and race installed?

Is the snap ring installed correctly?

There are more questions I have but need more info

You have already replaced the major parts in the primary and you still have noise, I dont understand why you would try a solid Sporster type front sprocket

These usually create huge vibration issues IMO
