Thought I'd check in with my own rant on this subject...

When H-D came out with "standard" automatic primary chain adjuster, with easy retrofit to earlier model-year primaries, were there mobs of disgruntled owners lined up screaming "Warranty Recall!" ???

When Twin Cam 96 was introduced, did Twin Cam 88 owners demand a Free Stroker Kit ???

Hell...when y'all beg H-D to address a problem...AND THEY DO...should they eat the upgrade-retroactive to 1903 ???

I guess, like Shooter 64 signature sez: "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished."

Ride it, Trade it, Fix it, or Sell it! Rant over. Flame-On...

You make a good point my friend. The bike rides okay like it is. I am sure theIDS makes it run better but I do not think a comfort issue is a recall issue.

I'll be installing mine tonight, any words of wisdom?
I have never taken a back tire off a bagger, I have a lift and most tools.

Puta piece of tape on each side of your swing arm right neareach cam on the axle and mark a line on the cam AND the tape so that when you put the wheels back on, you line up these marks and your wheel will remain true. You will also retain the OEM spacer on the right side of your wheel to re-use when putting the wheel back on. You will get a new thinner spacer for the left side.

Piece of cake.

ultra- the baker fix and the ids are two completely different mods- in two completely different locations. my question is this: does the baker fix actually fix the problems with the transmissions with the IDS merely masking the problem OR is it the other way around?
