RE: IdS question
Here you go Bushy. You shouldn't need to replace the rubber pieces for a while
The stock pulley looks wider in this picture but it is the same width as the IDS pulley
Note the spacer installed in the center. It just drops into place
The bearing in the center of the pulley is the one that needs to be pressed in.

RE: IdS question
H-D suggests you should check the condition of the rubber inserts when you have your back tire changed. I've been involved with this technology supplying the rubber inserts to a coupling manufacturer for several years. The major factor affectingthe insert life is the amount of heat created by the compression and relaxation of the inserts when you accelerate/brake. How you ride will affect the life of the inserts.
On the industrial side these inserts can last for years. The answer is yes they will have to be replaced.
When? I'm guessing it could be years.
Anyone with another brand motorcycle containing this technology have any experience they can share???
I believe BMW hasincorporatedthis technology on at least one of their bikes.
