is this the kit to quiet the 5th gear noise?
I test rode an 98 heritage classic thursday and it had the 5th gear noise.
Today, saturday, i test rode an 08 street glide and it didnt have the 5th gear noise.
In fact that was a very sweet riding bike, now im trying to decide between a glide or roadking!
I talked my dealer into doing it for a flat $40.00. Convinced him I'd behis "test case" since he claimed he'd never heard about IDS fixing the clatter issue. It did fix it, and I told him so. He acted surprised. Also said he'd never quote another install at $40.00!!
My dealer did the deed for $253.27 complete. We had a prior arrangement when I bought the Ultra to do a Stage I at his cost. I then decided a Stage I wasn't needed so I dickered with him for the IDS. He wiggled and squirmed but I paid a Zanotti price for the part, and $60 labor ($82 is the going rate), plus tax. I be happy rider now. Works great.[sm=Awwww.gif]
