There is also an Aluminum inset that goes into those rubbers. When you go to change the rubbers inspect the inserts for wear also. See Honda NT700 Shop Manual Page 16-6 thru 16-14 Talks about removing the rear wheel and inspecting the cush drive components. And while you are at it inspect and or change the three O -rings that are back there also. See my thread on them. http://www.nt-owners.org/forums/showthread.php?5320-3-O-rings&highlight=Thanks. I'll do that. Would you recommend buying them ahead of time? In other words, are they a regular wear item?
