Description of the problem	While driving my 2008 harley ultra classic the bike began to skid and vibrate at 50 mph. Thought i was going down then began to free up, and i stopped. Called for pickup and transferred to harley shop in tyler, tx i ask to ck compensator sprocket as was told same day when getting new tires at another shop the compensator sprocket was going out. Have not received bike from harley shop but they have confirmed that compensator sprocket ordered and upgraded from existing sprocket.
