Compensator issues and ESP

My '13 is at the dealer with a compensator going out under warranty. What are the odds of theM installing a Screamin Eagle vs a stock unit?

The compensator went out in my '13 as well. JTB is right. The SE version is the upgrade. They installed an "upgraded" starter under warranty as well for me.

Not to hijack the thread but could you describe what was happening to make you realize it was the compensator?
I have a 2013 RGC I bought new and it has developed a loud 'clunk' sound sometimes when I shut down the engine and am wondering if that's the problem.

Just that. Intermittent clunking on the left side when I shut it down and a rattle/ticking noise on the left side at slower speeds. I noticed it getting harder to start as well. It would turn over but wouldn't sound quite right and took multiple tas of the starter button.

Had the compensator replaced and the receipt shows a SE40100061 which looks to be for a 07-10 touring. SE42200064A seems to be the correct one for my 13. Hope they got it right. In any case the clunk is gone finally.

Were you all experiencing in vibration along with the clunk? My '13 has what I can best describe as a tire with a flat spot on it type vibration that gets worse the longer you ride, and the trans seems to be getting "clunkier". The vibration stops when you pull the clutch in also.
