I think if you ask Racing Beat really nicely and send them your e-shaft, they'll set you up with they're light weight rotor assembally(sp? I know it's wrong). While you're at it, might as well get the flywheel and clutch you'll be running and have them balance the whole rotating assembally(sp). Just my $.02, even though it's not worth that much nowadays.

There can't be that much of an advantage to spending that much money on rotors.

main advantage is a higher redline, additionally, longer engine life (puts less strain on the eccentric shaft and bearings)

a new counterweight would be needed w/ these rotors? is this correct?
seems that if you lighten one end the counterweight would need a trimming too.

Some shops can lighten your existing rotors to achieve the same wieght.
Of course then rotating assembly has to be revalanced then.
