Tell us what you really think!

I disagree. I feel the bike is engineered quite nicely. Sure there are some corner cases where attention to detail could've been better, but overall it's a gem.

How many other first-run stuff have you bought that didn't have any gremlins appear between the hand-built prototypes and the production line? Yeah, that's what I thought.

I must agree with this wholeheartedly. Yes, HD dropped the ball on the tranny-clatter issue, but IDS fixes this and an '07 touring bike can now be retrofitted to put it in the state it should've been in to begin with. It's not expensive and easy to install. To those who haven't taken the plunge, just do it and forget the tranny-clatter that you once heard, as you won't hear it anymore. Warning: You might miss hearing the clatter. Probably not, though.

 

Bean counters again.....are you an Authority or are you simply conjecture-ing-ing?

Decidedly unauthoritarian conjecture. But look how, by all reports, the printed shift points now work correctly (again?) with the IDS (back?) in place. Is it just a coincidence? In the words of the old King James, "I trow not."

 

The shift points worked before...it just made noise.
Everyone knows you don't print RPM shift points based on noise.. it's based on engine speed, load etc. None of that changed...just the noise.

Bean counters....at least you're consistant...lol

A couple of points about your posts in general.

First, you don't need to quote anything if you're immediately following the post you're answering. Especially if you aren't addressing something specific within it. Even then, you should edit it to reflect just the point you want to address.

Second, it makes no sense whatsoever to reply above a quoted portion, whether you're referring to anything in it or not. The purpose of quoting stuff is to remind the author what they said, or anyone else what the author said. Then you make your point relative to it. The way you do it, one must scroll down to get "caught up", then scroll back up to see what you had to say about it. Granted, you're definitely not the first to make that mistake. I really, really wonder where the hell that convention got started. It's quite maddening, really, to follow a discussion in reverse order.

 

There is one good thing about the nay sayers keeping people confussed about the facts. While some people try to sort out whether they are worth it or not, the suppliers haven't been totally swamped and can still get them out in a reasonable amount of time to those that have decided. You don't have to like the IDS or even believe it works if that is what floats your boat. I just wouldn't keep holding my breath hoping MOCO is going to do much else about this.

 

all i wanna say is the IDS made my bike a better bike to ride, and the clatter was never a complaint of mine.
