Youhave an international model?
U.S. models have the wires but no solenoid.

New Member, I see IDS mentioned.
A heads up on page or posting on description would be appreciated.

IDS= Isolated drive system. It is a replacement rear pulley that has rubber inserts that dampen vibration. Commonly known as a cush drive on Metric bikes. Hope this helps.

Yes I am taking the safe route and for $20+ thousand, I think it's a wise decision. I don't make a huge amount of money, so the money I do spend has to be wisely spent.

I am a happy camper! I got my IDS sprocket installed by the dealer and i have put about 600 miles on the bike since then. Here is my report. 5th gear: you can still hear some of the noise but this is much reduced. 6th gear: All noises gone! AND the vibration on the footboards is 80% reduced in All gears not just 6th gear. In my case the noise in sixth gear sounded like someone doing a drum roll with two ballpene hammers. The noise was at its worst when I was going 75 mph up any sort of incline. As the engine loaded up, the noise and the vibration would be deafening. This is all in the past. I would highly recommend this upgrade. Even if you dont have the noise problem. This makes the bike run so much more smoothly. I am a thrilled Harley owner again! Hope this helps

A fairing is on the front of an Ultra. Fairing with windshield. Or a Bagger.

Here's something to think about. In all the posts that I've reviewed I couldn't find one credible post on just what is the cause of the so-called clatter (I think we're beyond describing it as gear-whine, don't you?). Now I know there are people out there with hard evidence on cause and result based on examing component wear, post rebuild, etc .....but .......the silence is deafening, eh? The Motor Company knows for sure what is the cause, that is for sure. If they'd share the weatlh in a credible way we could determine if there is cause to be concerned or not! What is causing the noise?? Is it gear-lash, (the)compensator bottoming or (oh-momma!) theprimary drive chain striking thecasing.To this point we have a wealth of tuppence from everyone. Any engineer's out there or mechanics with depth?
