I kept saying, no I don't need it. Well, you don't have to have an IDS, but now that I have mine, I am glad I purchased the part. Definitely a different bike when you take off and roll on the throttle. Now my next mission is to install a DTT/autotuner and cool the bike down.
Im so sorry...please correct my ignorance...what is the IDS, what does it do, and do they make it for the 08 Ultra????? thanks!

Isolated Drive System
Lots of talk about the 07 bikes with the transmission noises that sounds like clatter or as some put it "can of marbles".
It happens in 5th and 6th gears on most bikes primarily baggers because of the fairings reflecting the noise back at the rider and weight of these bikes also compared to the smaller FX frames.
The 08 bikes are fitted with these rear wheel pulleys that in effect have a rubber cushion in the hub and absorb most of the shock transmitted through the driveline from the longer stroked 96 engines in the 06 Dyna's and all models in 07. Most installations of these kits have reported to have fixed the problem completely and the kit is retrofittable to the 07 bikes.
Here's a pic of the product and below that is the instructions for installation that usually requires an hour of dealer labor to install. Part# 40287-07 and sells forMSRP US $305.00.
