IDS = Isolated Drive System
Wonder what this does? Website description states it "improves ride quality by reducing drive line noise."
Whoever gets one or knows what this is about, please fill me/us in.
Curious to learn what it does and how it actuates.

Is this the answer to the noise problem?

Points to ponder for me are going to be how much tq/hp will be lost with additional "bolt on" hardware. However, if it will rid my bike of the ever-so-slight 68-72 mph 6th gear clatter on load reducing terrain, which I'm sure it will.......................I'm buying it

wow...so much for HD's line that "we are not making any adjustments to the transmission and there is no fix in the forseeable future.." CRAP

true.BUT if it does work, at least it is cheaper than a transmission/motor revision that I feared we, as 07 users, would have had to eat. I did expect to eat crow and HD come up with an INTERNAL fix that, again, us '07 users may or may not have been able to acquire, so I welcome this "relatively" inexpensive "fix". I just hope it doesn'tdegrade our 96" TQgain back down to 88" specs.[

Instead, they priced it juuuuuuuust in the range of being "acceptable" to those that have the noise bad enough toswallow the cost.I personally don't really need it as my clatter is extremely benign and just barely audible in a very small load reduced range in 6th gear.......................but the idea of annhilating it altogether is quite appealing.
