I finally got off my *** and took care of that crappy IPB and stupid stator issue. Should be done by today. Here's a few pics. Not doing a write up on it. There's tons of threads discussing this issue. Just wanted to let every one know that I finally have a lil piece of mind when ripping up the streets of Nor Cal..

Here's the new baker IPB and the old crappy HD IPB

And those famous bolts that are known to back out and break and make your life suck and wish you bought and 07. This is before the weld.

Here's a photo of my bike on the lift. I have more photos but the wife wants to use the computer so I will post the rest later.

Nice job brother.. You'll be back on the road in no time..

 

Nows the time for a 30t pulley swap...

 

To late it's back together already. And some new shocks are priority on the must due list. Next winter I well swap it for the 30t

 

Here's a photo of the welds on the stator.

You got it done before it ruined your day down the line... Nice work!

 

Yeah every time I got on the bike and went for a long ride. That **** was always on my mind. So now I have some piece of mind when Im rippin down the HWY.

 

Nice job. Good pics.

 

Man am I jealous. I want to do mine so bad.. everytime I am on the bike I am thinking about those stupid little bolts. Everytime I hear a noise I think its my IPB.
Dealership wants $1800.00 to do the job and they won't install the Baker bearing but they will install a new inner primary with the locating pins.

I checked with an independant well respected local guy and he told me around $1500.00 with the new Baker bearing. Thats alot more than I have to spend on the bike.

I am sure I can do it myself but I don't have the tool to take out the IPB or press a new one in.
