RE: 06/07 gear noise fix
Thanks for the post Willie...I once posted about the 5th gear noise, and got a lot of responses. But I only noticed it after I installed a windshield. Once I was told it was normal by not only people on message boards, but by some folks at the dealer as well, I stopped worrying about it.
By any chance, do you have any idea how much they want for this kit? I didn't see it on the website (I didn't look beyond the page you linked). I doubt I would sink a substantial amount of money into my trans just because of a noise...especially one that is very common...but it's still good to know this is available.
Thanks again man!

Thanks for the info. But my 2006 Dyna 6 speed is quiet. I have a Windshield and The Tranny is quiet.The engine makes the same sound at 35 MPH that all my Harleys have made. A soft Tapping. To Date my 2006 Dyna is the best running Bike I have ever had.

RE: 06/07 gear noise fix
My tranny is relatively quiet as well...and I wasn't aware of any noise at all until I installed a windshield. Then one day on a long ride, with the windshield on, I started to hear what sounded like a high pitched squeal/whine/whistle,etc at around 50 mph in 5th gear. It's not especially loud...I can just barely hear it...but I definitely do hear it. That is the only time i hear any noise....but I was still concerned...so I did some searching around online and have tons of people hearing the same thing...and it's always in 5th gear...or at least for most people. Once I heard that...no worries. As long as I know I'm not the only one.

the small amout of whine you might hear is the same whine you would hear if you had a 05 dyna. in a 06 the 5th and 6th gears are not helical cut like gears 1,2,and 3. and in a 05 dyna none of the gears are helical cut.
