I hope that's not the way you installed it to use

I had one of these for a few months and found it added a ton of vibration in the lower RPMs when the bike was ridden two up and heavily loaded. Was fine otherwise.
Ended up taking it off and going back to the OEM since I tour on this bike a ton.
I will say it does everything else they say it does.
Tightened up the driveline nicely, shifts were smoother, and I'd swear throttle response felt quicker. Worth it for those seeking a sportier ride...

Ive replaced mine with the OEM 3 times over 80k miles, roughly every other rear tire change. It always feels a little tighter and more responsive when its changed, but wasnt sure how much was the new tire, bearings, and Im usually also changing fluids around the same time vs the cush drive. I never knew there was an aftermarket one.

I'm curious...
Did you replace it as preventative maintenance?
Or, did you follow the directions in the service manual for testing it and it failed to meet spec, so you replaced it?
I'm at 50K miles on my bagger, and test it every time I have my rear wheel off for a new tire (or any other reason) and mine has not failed to meet spec...?
I have put the last 24K miles on my bike with a 124" S&S crate engine @ 135HP/151TQ. I certainly don't beat on my bike, but I do play a little bit here and there. My OEM rubber isolator has been holding up well...

I also replace wheel bearings every other tire change. Ive never had an issue but it makes me feel better.

HD's only been using them since the early '80's. Royal Enfield invented them quite some time before that.

OP posting here. Just got back from a1300 mile ride. Between replacing the fuvked up TBW assembly and installing the Super Cush. Well. It was like riding a whole new motorcyle. Smoother, tighter between shifts and just all around a better ride. Thats all I have to say about that. Ride safe and be careful.
