Isolated drive system. It is a rubber sprocket setup to quiet down the 07 drive train clatter.

Place" ids" in the search function on this forum. There is a wealth of information available.

It's a computer virus that automatically deletes any threads where there are complaints of clatter in '07 touring bikes.

It is yet another part that should be free to '07 owners, but instead is overpriced as usual! Oh well... Can't win. Go with the '08 and get the console and tank that I don't like, '06 you get a smaller engine and 5 speed... what a dillema!

Cush drive, that metrics have been using for decades.

08's have it standard, 07's may benefit from this "enhancement".
