just installed IDS
I just installed my IDS from Zannottis. All Harley parts. I seem to have some what of a vibration at higher speeds that was not there before. Especially when I let off the throttle. Anyone else have that problem since putting on the IDS?????????????

RE: just installed IDS
as stated, it may be alignment. If everything went on ok, and no extra parts, you should be good. The alignment will affect the way the belt rides on the sprockets (pulley's) and also the way the brake pads sit on the caliper. Find a place to measure the center of the axle to a reference point equal on both sides. Don't forget to check belt tension also. The dynas had a little hole in the swingarm forward of the rear axle you could use it as a measurement point. I haven't dove into that area yet on my sparkly new road king..
Check, check, and double check. You may find something.
good luck
