May be a stupid question but what is a Isolated drive system?

 

Go to the HD website and read all about it. In short it quietens and smooths out your drive system and makes shifting smoother. .It is standard on the 08 and for 300.00 plus labor you can retrofit it to an 07 but no earlier models.The o6 and earlier bikes do not need it as it was brought about to stop some of the noise that some riders complained about concerning the 6-speed transmission.

 

what he said..

it solves world hunger, cures cancer and creates world peace. You got an 07, get one.

 

Or it was finally okayed by the bean counters after being vetoed the first time around. I don't recall hearing anything authoritative regarding it; is your statement fact or conjecture?

 

and is available from zannottis for bout 228 with bearing pressed -takes 45 min to two hrs to install -depending

 

 

took the factory tour and one of the points on the tour was the 6 gallon tank, abs and yes the infamous IDS system available on the 2008 models....

 

Ordered mine tonight. Looking forward to the upgrade.

 

had my first weekend with the IDS. improved gas mileage and smooooooooooooth operation. love it

 

The IDS is a $300 part that masks the fact that your bike is a poorly engineered POS. As Mack so correctly stated, "The 06 and earlier bikes do not need it." There is no way that the design and engineering that went into the 07 models was far enough along to introduce it into production. All of us 07 owners were unwitting guinea pigs.
