Isolated Drive System
Does any one know if the IDS offered as an upgrade for the 07 models have any wear limits ( spec ) ? Do the shoes wear or not and how many miles if they do . I have it on my FLHRC and just replaced my compensator at 60k and was wondering ?

Unless I missed something somewhere, the compensator is on the engine crank shaft and the IDS is for the rear pulley. There is a wear limit for the IDS, something like 1/4 inch of pulley movement at the outside edge without moving the wheel. Recommend you try Google for the specific tolerance as the 1/4 inch is just from memory. The free pulley movement on my 08 King never seemed to change but when I replaced the 66 tooth pulley with a 68 tooth pulley I also replaced the pads. There was NO pulley movement with the new pads so that tightened things up a bit. Also from memory, there are 6 pads at about $6 each. The pulley just lifts, or falls off the wheel, there is no mounting for the pulley. It is held in pace by the spacers which set left/right wheel location in the swing arm. The "can" which holds the cushions is solidly mounted to the wheel but that doesn't have to be changed unless damaged.
