PLDRIVE,

I like the twin disc clutches. Both RAM & McLeod have great setups. The reason they don't come up much in conversations is because of the price. They are very expensive, with the RAM twin disc being one of the highest because the kit comes with the flywheel.

Kevin, I was referring back to the post I made about taking off from a dead stop...or on a hill. You can tell a difference between flywheel weights as the heavier wheels give you a "helping hand" in that area. Otherwise, the aluminum wheels cause the engine to feel more "zippy" as Undy put it.

Fatboy, I would never use a cast iron flywheel when you have a steel flywheel as a choice. A 40 year old cast iron wheel just doesn't have the integrity to hold up at higher horsepower levels and higher rpms.
