RE: 2007 Tranny problem!
It was in one of the magazines, there is some slack in the gears. The BakerF6F fix it suppost to take a lot of that slack out of 5th gear and take the whine out.

Some good reviewshere from folks that have had theIsolated Drive System installed.Could the fix for the so-called, "noise problem" be at hand? Only time will tell (and feed-back from the herd). If it IS the panacea, HD should bear some of the cost but I guess I'm dreaming in technicolor, eh?Here is the detail........

RE: 2007 Tranny problem!
Talked to HD yesterday about my chadder box SG, was told for a mere $350.00 I could buy a "ride enhancement kit" to quiet my noisy transmission. What the he**!! The yeven had the nerve to compare this to my new backrest, "this will enhance your ride just like your backrest does". Wake up HD! I chose to enhance my ride with a new backrest, I didn't choose to have a noisy, unsafe transmission to have to "enhance". I called the dealer and received many different stories..service manager claimed to have never heard about the tranny problem, salesman said they were very aware of it but all SG's do it so don't worry and finally the owner told me he was unaware of this but will personaly look at my bike. My big beef, after spending $20,000.00 + dollars on the "best bike ever built" why should i cover the expense to quiet HD's problem? Although the do refuse to call it a problem. I've heard so many excuses and stories that I don't know what to believe! All I do know is as time goes on I become more unsure of my bike and must admit a bit weary of riding it. I really don't want to be the one who's tranny locks up and I end up scattered down the road just for HD to finally say "gentlemen we have a problem". Bottom line is I will not quit until HD gives me full credit of the amount I spent on my SG chadder box toward the purchase of an 08. Another thing, what happened to the saying if it's not broke don't fix it? Why would HD change anything on th 08's if the 07's were so wonderful? As I have detered 2 potential friends from purchasing a new HD I hope those who have the tranny problem will do the same by telling their story. What a disappointing experience for this first time new HD buyer, perhaps I should stick to buying used so someone else can get all of the "ride enhancement" products on the bike.LOL!!!!!!!!!

CT_Duke will be forever known as the ALL TIME champ of Mega Thread creation. I challenge everyone to find a bigger one! However, He's no longer part of the HD family. He tossed his ride on the clatter scrap heap a long time ago! Oh, I forgot to mention that the little moco played a bit of a roll.
