I'm a new R1100S owner, and got curious about this (since I've seen the cush bumpers in various chain bikes in my past). I don't see anything obvious in the Clymer manual pictures, but the driveshaft (#28 at page 523) does have a two-concentric-shafts thing going on. Is the damper in the larger shell, and set to let the thinner part of the shaft rotate a little bit? Is it a disassemble-able part, or you have to replace the whole thing? (I don't need one yet, just wondering.)
