TWR stabilizer or IDS?
Ive been trying to decide which made the biggest differance to my bike.The IDS smoothed out the ride and definately quited things down.The stabilizer definately improved the handling of the bike.I guess id have to highly reccomend both because I wouldnt give either one up and they were both easy installs.What about others out there who have done both,what do you think?

Exactly what is the TRW stabilizer and what does it do..cost, etc?

I have had the IDS installed on my 07 SE Ultra. Biggest dif was the noise in 5th and 6th gear and able to run 6th gear at 55 to 60 without all the noise.

For me, both of these upgrades are on the top of my list. The IDS does a lot for riding comfort allowing me a larger RPM range with less noise and vibration.
The TWR stabilizer has done the most for my bikes safety. Even fully loaded riding 2up, my bike is rock solid in the corners.
Both these upgrades cost about the same at a little over $300.

RE: TWR stabilizer or IDS?
Maybe I was one of the lucky guys. I do not believe in luck though, I'm a Christian. I do not have the noise many have spoken about. Perhaps I have been riding so long I do not pay attention to normal noises. So the IDS has nothing to offer. I have ridden a 07 with the IDS and could not see much difference in mine without the IDS.
I just installed the TRW stabilizer and will check it out later today. I did take a short ride yesterday evening. I did get to check out the twisties though. I can tell a difference. How much not sure yet. I plan on taking a ride later today.
