I recently replaced my front sprocket and chain.  I asked for the Triumph 
front sprocket with the "cush" drive.  My Dealer, which I trust implicitly 
told me it was a waste of money to buy the Triumph part.  He said the 
sprocket is NOT a true cush drive, and that the plastic part is ONLY there 
to cut down on noise to help the bikes pass the stringent tests they must 
get thru (European requirements).  He said if it had any effect on vibration 
it would be very minimal.  I believe him.  He is a stand up guy, honest guy. 
  He could have let me buy the more expensive part and made more money, but 
instead he opted to do what was best for the customer.
