two things-lil thing is immediate response thru each gear, big thing is i can perfect line up the wheels, sprockets, etc. its kinda give and take-either the wheel is perfectly straight, and the sprockets are a lil off, or vice versa. faster u go, the more the lil gremlins rear their ugly heads. just looking ahead

im looking into milling down the carrier, but i figured id try and kill two birds with one stone if i could

yea-true it would probably cost too much with the wheel i have.

Are your times that competetive, you need to do that? Or is it for safety?

The ones in my Suzuki are 29 years old. Stress cracks and hard, but still a fairly tight fit. I think they mostly keep other parts from breaking. You could take them out, trace them on aluminum and cut them out, but like the others say, why bother.

Nobody cares about my 2 cents but...PM used to sell wheels without cush drive. I've seen a few people use them and break chains,sprockets(especially alum ones),crack rims,rotate the tire on the rim. Btw if you have the stock front sprocket it may also incorporate a "cushion" as well. A track only bike takes off hard once a day,two or three times a week(hopefully). A street bike takes off from stop dozens of times a day, 7 days a week(again,hopefully). Plus,you will introduce more vibration into your life as well. If you are having trouble lining op your rim or it "changes" on you,you may have other issues like the wrong spacer(s) or a missing spacer. No offense,I've seen experienced shops/riders do it. Heck,a buddy of mine whose Grandpa owns Villiage Motorsports back in Mi and who now is the general manager. Showed up at my house to go riding. He had new tires so I was looking at them and noticed his sprocket nuts were cutting into his swingarm because they had forgotten a spacer. I've seen spacers flip/flopped and the spacer behind the sprocket carrier go missing. Regardless of your problem,I doubt the cush drive is at fault. If you're serious,3/8 ss bolts,nylock nuts,spot weld end thread or drill and safety wire. Be precise for balance. Set carrier to "front" of rim so it starts at the leading edge. Good luck.
