Now that this has been out for a while now, I a curious to how to how people like it? I have a 2016 Slim that is in need of a compensator and I want to use this one. Any feedback is much appreciated!

Thanks

  I'm running a 32 tooth one and the old Duracell seems to like it. I have no complaints with it at all.

Lugging is not an issue with this rider. Why did you replace the whole unit? Wouldn't a cushion replacement be in order for that?

I have been running the ManO war compensator on my 124" M8 most of this year  about 4500 miles after shattering the ramps on the stock comp during a missed shift. I have no complaints other than some minor noise in neutral and not knowing how long the rubber bushings are going to last and how much notice you may get before a failure. I have yet to hear of one failing.

Whip-we replaced them and reinstalled SE compensators, even the softer bushings that John has will not smooth out a lugger

The same as it is with the regular compensator.

Is it?  Drive line rattle is a major factor in what kills the crank.  M8s pull nicely from 1800.  WOT at that RPM could bottom the comp travel out and be harmful tho.

I can agree with that. To Buglet's question, what is considered lugging with the MOW, an experienced rider should be able to figure out pretty quickly what constitutes lugging with the Man-of-War. Like a regular comp, it changes with riding conditions. There is no set rpm that would be considered lugging in all scenarios.

  My take on it it has to do with the amount of load on it with out shaking it apart then RPM

Thermodyne

The MoW didn't work out for me on my 114.  Sprocket shaft run out is a real issue for them.  So be sure to check it before you order the MoW.
