1. True duals, SE airbox and SERT to keep the heat down.
2. Floated rotors to keep the squeeking down.
3. Chrome front end...Just because it looks good.

+1 on Screamin Eagle compensator and convince riders that 6th gear is not for under 70 mph.

I copied this: Isolated Drive System

Lots of talk about the 07 bikes with the transmission noises that sounds like clatter or as some put it "can of marbles".

It happens in 5th and 6th gears on most bikes primarily baggers because of the fairings reflecting the noise back at the rider and weight of these bikes also compared to the smaller FX frames.

The 08 bikes are fitted with these rear wheel pulleys that in effect have a rubber cushion in the hub and absorb most of the shock transmitted through the driveline from the longer stroked 96 engines in the 06 Dyna's and all models in 07. Most installations of these kits have reported to have fixed the problem completely and the kit is retrofittable to the 07 bikes.

Isolator Drive System. New bikes come with this. It's a rear wheel sprocket shock absorber that reduces the shock to the drive line when the clutch is released and the belt engages.

I have installed the IDS to help the transmission noise, as well as adding 75-110 Severe Gear gear lube, I installed a RidStr8 for the wobble, I installed a set of FatCats, a Big sucker 2 aircleaner, SERT and a good cam to cure the extreme lack of performance and to help get rid of some of the heat, the cam upgrade also got rid of the bang on startup, I also got a set of RG Originals heat shields and installed a oil cooler to help with the heat.
I ditched the crap stock tires for a set of Night Dragons which absolutely turned it into a differant bike.

Synthetic gear oil in tranny------ 5th gear whine reduced

With enough power/torque i never remotely felt i needed a IDS or any kind of gearing change.
Haven't been in the Rockies with mine but it had plenty of power in the mountains of NC without the 103 build with my wife on back. I'm sure i would like the 103 build but it's something I've never thought necessary.

Just have IDS and bearing checked with every rear wheel change. Below is what my bearing looked like after 8000 miles on my first IDS. Yeah first. I replaced my first one. Have about 3000 miles on the new one. So far so good.
