it won't fit your bike. the ids is the 'isolated drive system' that comes standard on the 08 and above touring bikes, and is retrofitted for the 07s. when the 07s first came out, there were a lot of complaints about 'marbles in a can' type noise, and the ids was supposed to alleviate a lot of that. supposed to cushion the power pulses by using hard rubber 'biscuits' in the rear sprocket.
worked great on my 07, but my wife never had that noise problem on hers so she never installed it.

What size did you get for the rear? NO mods required?
Wondering the size for my 2006 UC. Think its the 130/90HB16?
Thanks!

my bike has a 140 90 16 on it , the only problem I have with that , is that the belt rubs the tire when I back up more than 6 feet.
Doesn't rub when I go forward.
I wish I could find someone who rides in a warm area to get a mileage review, still haven't seen or heard of these tires with any miles on them.

I use an Indy that charges $25.00 to change a tire. My riding partner got one for his 09 Ultra but hours conflict so I took his bike to get a Commander II put on day before yesterday. Only about a 10 minute ride from his house to the shop but plenty of twisties. Indy could not believe the 407 (very bad cupping) had been on for 14K. That is a rear BTW. I could surely tell a huge difference, especially in the twisties. I have been running Dunlop EIII's and love the grip but not getting the miles out of it I would like. Guess I will be changing brands.
