They have always been big with domestics. Just within the last few months have I seen their ad in import magazines.

Also I messed up this thread bad. I don't care so much bout the flywheels as I do the clutches. I have been running a OS Giken Twin but i figure it will die in a year or so. I wann try something a little cheaper as I am convinced the Japanese are Crooks and ripping everyone off.

von, I believe any automatic counterweight from a series 4 or 5 will work. Possibly FD ones too.

And thanks for the link rxseven.

Series IV and Series V do not balance the same, they use a different counterweight. Series V and FD DO balance the same.

At over $400 for aluminum flywheel, they don't cost any cheaper than your local speed shop in anaheim or signal hill. I'm going with downunder....mate

Good deal, you know the owner? I'm sure most of us would like to get one at that price.
