Haha, Giubo is a portmanteau of the words giunto (Italian for joint) Boschi (the Italian guy credited for inventing it).
If any of you LCI guys with the 96mm giubo ever have your exhaust off or are doing something under there, please wiggle the output flange and look for movement between it and the output shaft. Any little movement is enough to amplify into bigger wear.
Officially the aluminum giubos were superseded because the aluminum would enlarge once the bushing inserts were wearing, causing the whole flex disk to explode when the aluminum cracks through.
There probably is a service bulletin about it. I don't think it's nearly enough to protect the flange, going to rubber, but the data seems to show it helps.
