[QUOTE="oexing, post: 108017, member: 1493"] Best option is NOT to install the Vincent ESA and you will never have any problem there. What that crap device really does is braking even triplex chains - as is well known. Where do you think will shocks develop, from the rear wheel, from the primary drive ?? The crankshaft is quite heavy and will not induce any big shocks into the drive within one cycle. Chain drives are not as rigid as shaft drives like on Guzzis or BMWs. So , as Neville Higgins has found out, that non-elastic shock absorber slams onto both limits when accelerating or braking the engine, no damping at all due to its shapes. I bet nobody has ever snapped a belt in a non ESA setup, or a decent chain in no-ESA bike. Vic [/QUOTE]
