The idea is to dampen out some of the driveline "jitter" associated with each cylinder's power stroke impulse.

Here's a link to a search I did for the term "IDS" used in thread titles within the Touring forum:

ETA: As 6 gun says, it's often not a big help and can have it's own problems (just another device that can break) so unless you feel that you need one... The reason I mentioned it was the fact that some people with '07s do feel like they need one so it's an item for you to be aware of in response to your original question.

I have the same bike, the entire exhaust on mine is custom from stock. stock exhaust converted to true dual, stock mufflers with custom buffles, hi-flow Zippers air cleaner. the ECM is Thunder Max with Autotune the best investment. Thunder Max is pricy but well worth it.
