I helped install one of these in a friends big block FXR this weekend. Not sure if it is worth the $900 bucks but it did provide a very noticeable change/reduction in vibration.

Brief overview, the bike is based on an oem harley FXR frame with oem type engine mounts supporting a TC124 that cranks out 150hp SAE. Also has an aluminum swingarm and carbon fiber wheels. I have ridden this bike may times. Its a beast but surprisingly smooth. The owner has it geared to run 100 mph on the highway for extended periods.

After installing this cush drive, I noticed a significant reduction in vibrations felt at my seat-o-pants meter. I may get one to try in my blue bike after its up and going and I have a base of reference.

Curious if anyone here has ridden a bike with one of these installed?

What happens when you have to replace the sprocket, another 900.00 ??

Looks nice I don't remember or was it Vulcan any way my conversion was done while it was in for a build on the 12 street Glide with the 124 that and a set of chain adjuster was added a bit alter like the ones Ray installed .  Seems like 51 to 55 Rear sprockets were available and 24 and 25 in the transmission I think .  The hardened steel sprocket , X ring chain I think ,Is it worth 900 . I don't know , if I want it I buy it ,. I just want good quality parts

just disassemble and replace the sprocket, lug drive, looks easy enough to do
