RE: Installing IDS Tomorrow
Smoother shifting and 5th gear is a little quieter - had the local dealer install it \\;on an 07 EGC. \\; Was charged 1 hour labor when I had the 5000 mile checkup. \\; Purchased the IDS kit from Zanotti HD.

I didn't have excessive noise in 5th or 6th (just a little), \\;but the biggest improvement I noticed was overall smoothness in gear transitions and secondly when I am coming to a stop, you don't feel near as much vibrating or "pulsating" from the engine at the lower rpm's right before you stop at a light. And, of course a quiter transmission at cruising speed in either 5th or 6th gear. One of the best mods I have done especially for the price from Zanotti's. Easy to do, only took me about two hours taking my time.

My bike was good before IDS. \\;\\\\\\; It is amazingly more enjoyable to ride now. \\;\\\\\\; Great improvement and if it broke I would do it again tomorrow. \\;\\\\\\;

RE: Installing IDS Tomorrow
From everything I've read/heard, there is an early-model bearing and a later-model bearing. \\; The later model is the one that apparently lasts and causes no further problems.

Good luck,
