Thanks again

I am not sure but you might check that chart I posted about gear ratios. Also, I'm thinking your sprockets on the softail are not the same as the EGs. (not positive about that) Doesn't mean you couldn't change them though.

I'd still like to know if IDS is an option on a Softail.

Thanks

I don't know about IDS on spoke hub, you could call dealer for part numbers on sprokets for each model to see if they are the same but I doubt.

Changing the front to a 30t should give you 6.6% increase over stock ratio 66/32=2.063 vs. 66/30=2.20, 2.20/2.063= 6.6%

Changing just rear to 68/32=2.125 vs. stock 2.063= 3.2%

Changing both 68/30=2.267 vs. stock 2.063= 9.9%

Changing the front only gives you a good increase but is more labor. I just changed the rear since I have 103" and just wanted a few more rpm's at 70-75 mph. I figure it changed my speedo about 6 mph faster and I was already 2 mph fast so I did Sert upgrade as mentioned in my prior post to adjust it.
