Since "Necessity is the Mother of Invention"; why hasn't somebody come up with a bigger rear sprocket, to include the IDS, for these touring bikes? After all, it is a pretty simple part. I don't know anybody that really likes the gearing on these bikes. I think there is money to be made if somebody would do this. It would be the easiest way to correct the problem. I'll buy the first one! (I'm guessing that patents held by the MOCO are probably the roadblock to this.??)

 

Put me down for the second one. These bikes really are geared too high.

 

Yes I have one custom for 08/2011 rear touring it turns it into a chain drive. and use ids systems


I have a step by step install with pics on this fourm.

just add more throttle and let that clutch out earlier problem solved. thats what i do. works good, maybe trup yur tire a little for bit for better launch. i put ids on my bike 07

 

What about a chain drive for the IDS equipped 08 and losing the IDS in the swap, is that possible?

I'd like to have a little more rear sprocket, but not if I have to give up my belt for a chain.

That's like trading a 50" plasma for a 19" black and white. No Thanks.

 

Agreed....I'd be in if I could retain belt drive and IDS.
