Compensator ~2 Replaced ( Greased up Version ) when I got the vehicle, put around 1500 miles on it, mainly motorway and A-roads.

Compensator ~3 Not taking any chances, it was making a terrible chirping noise like a demented canary, same noise about a day before ~2 compensator decided to throw off it's mortal coil and do in the bottom end

With the rear tyre width, it's just a matter of finding the room to put it, the drive belt is nigh on rubbing the tyre as it is.

Oh for sure there isn't enough room to put bigger rubber on the back unless the grinder, tig and metal-work 101 comes into play. Then of course the whole dynamics of the vehicle changes so no way an option, would be nice to have though....like changing the swing-arm on the back of the bike to put in extra rubber.
Engine tweaking is the only way to go I guess, but I'd still worry what the extra ooommph would do to the drive. Free flowing pipes and maybe a procharger but now I'm off in lala land.
