[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 75634, member: 597"] It's there to absorb torsional loads throughout the whole system. It's worst case scenario would be a complete lock up, though I doubt any shock absorber in the system can cope with that. But it primarily takes the power pulses from the engine as David pointed out, which is exactly why it works best on the end of the crank shaft. The other positions are better than none, but because they operate further along the drive train, their effect at the crank becomes less. The so called "Give" in a primary chain, or a belt means nothing in the scheme of it all. I run no shock absorber on the racer at all, and I found cracks in the spokes of the billet rear sprocket carrier I had on there......We made up another keeping the webbing a solid disc to stop cracks, and it seems to be ok so far. A crank shaft shock absorber would definitely be of help, even if it saves the crank over time. I would be looking seriously at the improved version the VOCS co have available. Just my thoughts..........Cheers..........Greg. [/QUOTE]
