40324-70 Compensating Sprocket Retainer, 1970-1984 Big Twin

Keeping your primary drive in top shape is crucial for a smooth ride, and this compensating sprocket retainer is a key piece of that puzzle. Manufactured by V-Twin as a direct replacement for OEM number 40324-70, this retainer is designed for 1970 to 1984 Big Twin models, covering the FX, FXR, and Touring families. It works within the compensator assembly to keep the spring plates and sprocket aligned under load. Over time, these components can wear, leading to primary noise or erratic power delivery. Replacing a worn retainer with this high-quality part ensures your 74 or 80-cubic inch Shovelhead or early Evo stays reliable. It is an essential item for any mechanic performing a primary service or a full engine overhaul on a classic Big Twin.
