one IDS question then I'll shutup
 

As a new 07 Ultra Classic owner does the IDS cover up a serious problem we will pay big for in the future or does it fix then can of rocks?


And what is a SERT?
And what as far as an exhaust do u recommend? (don't like them real loud)

IDS absorbs shock in the driveline.....it should be better for the driveline.

IDS works, my 5th gear clatter is gone. SERT is a Screamin Eagle Race Tuner and exhausts are like women, everyone has their own idea of what's just right...very personal. Oh, and that was 3 questions!

Keep reading, you might as well go for the Thundermax with autotune and check out the D&D Fatcat 2-1 with the quiet baffle. Check with Shooter64 (Bart) here on the forum for the best pricing I've been able to find.
You know you made a good decision when you see somebody selling a SERT or Power Commander saying they just bought a Thundermax.

Ok.....I've contributed several opinions and read everything I could find on:
1) IDS
2) Gearing noises
3) Engine detonation
and after my last visit to Dallas Harley Davidson, my bike runs like a different machine.
This may not apply if you have add-ons but on a box-stock bike, ECM reflash 32903-07E solved all my problems. Apparently HD came out with a "Torque Smoothing" mapping that resolved most IDS issues without the expense of adding IDS to 2007's. However, most bikes "pinged" at higher engine loads after having it applied. This could be avoided by riding "gently" but what's the sense in having a motorcycle if you can't get on it once in awhile, I queried of my dealer. :-)
Initially the dealer didn't know about this but after contacting "the mothership", HD provided them with ECM reflash 32903-07E.
This is an upgraded (incremental) Torque Smoothing ECM flash, that made my 2007 Ultra a joy to ride. It runs like the proverbial "striped-assed-ape" now.
