I have a 2001 Prosport, and I'm going to install compression releases for a (hopefully) easier start. Has anyone else done this? Any downsides to such a plan?
You gotta make sure your heads are drilled for them first. You will know because there will be a big bolt (plug) screwed in where they go. I installed them in my 03 and my bike starts alot easier now and doesn't get 'hung' on the compression stroke.I have a 2001 Prosport, and I'm going to install compression releases for a (hopefully) easier start.

I don't think the 01's had the rockers with the hole in them!!I have a 2001 Prosport, and I'm going to install compression releases for a (hopefully) easier start. Has anyone else done this? Any downsides to such a plan?
Come on now, don't be that way... :down:..I obviously disturbed someones' delicate sense of decorum, with an unauthorized posting. I had mistakenly thought that this was a site for bikers. So you can go back to your tea party, and I won't return to "your" site again.

hell yeah!! good job LDO! :2thumbs:LDO,
As always, your the voice of reason, its a good thing your here to keep things calm and orderly!
i have a 2000 vintage sport and the heads were not drilled for compression releases. So i bought a set of electronic compression releases and now they just sit in the garage. My bike is equipped with the TP 107" and i had problems with starting the bike in the beginning but after a good battery and rebuilt the starter with a new starter clutch the bike starts up just fine, gets hung up on the compression stroke once in awhile. just hit the button again and the bike turns over and with my engine being a TP, big dog used a TP engine with S&S heads and S&S rocker covers. So i went round and round between S&S and TP and in the end i could not use the compression releases.
according to the big dog dealer my bike came with S&S heads and rocker coversHey 2000bigdog that tp engine should have edelbrock heads on it unless someone changed them.
The electronic compression releases are just setting in the garage collection dust. Tried sellin them on EBAY and no one wanted them. So im stuck with them. Sucks but i learned my lesson to double check and triple check before you buyWell that stinks. What are you going to do with the equipment that you have now?
