I just re-read the thread-starting post. I know it's late now, but I caught you used the word "defiantly" instead of "definitely" in one place. Oh, well...
I posted this to getsome help before I sent it inand you let me make this mistake.... you are fired
This is like English 101 up in here. Can we get us a spell check up in this peice?
(emphasis mine)
You then proceed to ask for an IDS. The IDS will not help one iota when the bike is not moving. Have you considered this?

The reason for writing is we are very unhappy with the engine noise coming from the FLHRC. It just plain sounds like crap. It is like a box of rocks when it is at idle and when going down the road.

A company that has a problem with their product or serviceispretty common these days. Whatmakes a top notch organization is how they deal with the issue. As of today I can not report a final conclusion except that my local rep seemed straight up andsincere about wanting to make us happy and satisfied. I willdefinitely give an in depth write up when we get the bike back.

Trouble is, "defiantly" is definitely spelled correctly, so that don't get caught.
I must say that the rep I met with was entirely likeable and seemed like a straight-up guy. I have a good feeling about my dealing with him and the shop where I bought my ride.

I was thinking of ordering an IDS from Zanotti's but before I did I went out to Fargo HD to see what their price was...$305 and they wouldn't deal on the price. I then asked the service department how much labor would be on the install and they said that if I can wait until October 1st HD has free labor on certain parts/installs/fixes and that the IDS was one of the "free labor" items. They said this is a nationwide special that runs from October through March.

I have not heard of this and am considering the IDS upgrade in the very near future.

Do you have a web link or something somewhere that explains this "Free Labor on Certain Parts/Installs/Fixes?

) as it mightmask the noise that the MOCO rep was concerned about.The tech that usually works on my stuff had been out and was in the middle of a rebuild so it will be a few days to get it in. I agreed that I was in no hurry as we are getting ready to go on vacation for about 3 weeks and would not be riding. I think I will check on it Friday and see if they got it in. I am anxious to hear the verdict but did not want to rush it. I am probably going to install the IDS myself anyway but have not decided that yet. It kinda depends on what they find. I will give an update when I get the final word in as much detail as I can.

I think this IDS is just a mask to cover the real problem and that in the future you will be looking at big problems. Here's another problem now......what if you want to put some nice wheels on your bike with matching rotors and matching pulley like I did......your screwed.......you can't do it. Harley needs to fix this problem properly and that is to redesign this transmission/primary drive setupbefore they start failing later on in there life cycle. I personally think that HD is making way to many changes way to fast on all the items on their bikes. It used to be nice many years ago that no matter where you went or whether you went to an HD dealer or an independent shop you could almost always count on getting the parts you needed......now.....good luck if even the dealer has them. I think they are doing it so eventually you will only be able to get parts from the Dealer as all the aftermaket manufacturers will get fed up with having to redesign the parts every couple years to match the changes. I can tell you that I'm sure glad my bike is a 2005.
