IMO, THIS IS THE BEST $213.00 I COULD EVER SPEND ON A $24,000 BOX OF ROCKS. THIS IDS INSTALL TOOK CARE OF ALL THE ULTRAS CLATTER, CLAMMER, AND ALL THE OTHER CRAP YOU GUYS ARE WHINING ABOUT. BIKE RIDES LIKE A DREAM, NO MORE 3,000 RPM TO RID YOUR CLATTER. 2,300 FOR ME NOW AND SMOOTH SAILING FOR ME. SHIFTS LIKE A HARLEY SHOULD, UP AND DOWN. SO YOU GUYS WHO WANT TO WHINE ABOUT THE WHINING, GO RIGHT AHEAD.I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO NOW,LIKE RIDE. GOOD LUCK TO ALL WITH YOUR YOUR CLATTER BOXES.
Finally, some good, solid info, WITH PICS!!!! I like that. Thank you!
A fewquestions. Please reply when you have time away from riding . . .
1. Where did you buy the IDS?
2. Did they press the bearing in for you?
3. Looks like you did the job yourself with help. I'm a retired Cat mechinic and I do have a HD service manual. Were there any surprises doing the job?
4. On a scale of 1-10 difficulty. Where would you put it?
5. How long did it take you?
My bike has not developed the clatter that many are talking about. I may just do the IDS anyway. Seems like HD should have installed it on my 07 anyway. Since they didn't, I will.
ZANOTTI H-D, 213 BUCKS, PRESSESD BEARING ON MYSELF. (FREEZE BEARING, LEAVE SPROCKET OUTSIDE IN HEAT FOR A FEW HOURS, SLIDES RIGHT IN). TOOK 1.5 HOURS WITH NO PROBLEMS. MONEY WELL SPENT. DO IT YOURSELF AND SAVE $$$$$$$$. WELL WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. BUY A TORQUE WRENCH,36 MM SOCKET FROM YOUR LOCAL AUTO STORE AND A BELT TENSION TOOL, YOUR GOOD TO GO!!!!!!!
OH! IT WAS A ONE MAN JOB IF YOU GOT A BIKE LIFT!(RECOMENDED).ALSO, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE IDS WASN'T MADE IN TIME FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE '07' YEAR. THE PRODUCTION DATE ON THE IDS IS '07'. THE BIKES CAME OUT IN '06'. THATS WHY I BELIEVE MOCO CALLS IT AN ENHANCEMENT FOR THE '07'S. GO FIGURE!!!!!
Thatsbecause they probably didn't think they were going to need it in 06. Thank God they finally made it.
Going on a 1000 miler in the next few days...can't wait! No more clatter....just awesome.
