"yo bill" are you talking about sew on patches and such? I was looking for a Softail patch the other day at the shop and couldn't find one either.

Sorry, I'm sick in the head! Yeah, just pulling your chain on that one. "ID's". That's what my eyes saw first when I read that insteat of IDS.
The patch thing is true for me though. Couldn't find one.

Independant Drive System. Rubber inserts in the rear hub used for making a smoother ride.

Ah OK cool. Thanks. How much of an effect does this have on the ride from those of you that know about this. I'm pretty happy with my stock ride but this is kinda interesting.

About friggin time they got on that one. It will cure the last complaint I have with this bike, the fifth gear clatter. Good to hear it's in the works.
