Billet flywheel
Getting ready to install new clutch (Spec III ) and was wondering what, if any, is there to be gained with going to a billet flywheel....steel or aluminum?

A billet flywheel is stronger and less prone to destruction if you have a clutch failure. Centerforce makes a billet steel flywheel; its pretty heavy 38 lbs.

Less rotating weight. Quicker revving but more prone to bogging off the line. Good for daily driver, maybe not good for drag racing.

Spec clutch + billet flywheel = price of street twin w/o nice adj. master cylinder and only 1/10 of the holding force. Why?
