not storm related but more a bit of a challenge , at least for me..

a flywheel but this time not for a storm but a Aprilia one for a friend...
1. first thing is storms really do have huge flywheels when you see a normal one,
2, the Italians dont make it easy .

heres it standard





and after some VERY careful up close machining










it brought a smile to my inner magpie making this little shiny thing

How much weight saving?

on this one iv no idea as my scales cried enough but the owner is gona weigh it compared to his standard one before fitting, nowhere near as much as the firestorm ones i do, they loose the best part of a full kilo before they leave me

You might have to start drilling holes as well.

and who doesnt like drilling holes

well the owner is away with it so i will find out soon enough how it works.

I dint even want to drill holes in the numberlpalae of the new one, so ordered a new plate. The old ones held on by cable ties, or , it was, Officer, it defitintely was.....

I like shinny things

It'll be interesting to hear what the owner thinks of the lightened flywheel,
