T3 flywheel lightening

[jabberwocky]

I've got my whole bike apart this winter, and one of the things that it is getting is a new flywheel. Actually it is used but it has PERFECT splines. It is from a later bike with some kind of trigger/pick up. I don't know if that was for injection or ignition. Anyhow, I'm considering having it lightened some. I'm not ready to go whole-hog and get a RAM clutch, but it seems like I could gain some and improve the shifting, working with what I've got. Is there a consensus on how much weight to take out of it? I only ride this on the street, and I'm not even that aggressive of a rider. I'm looking to get things in the sweet spot, not take things to the limit. ALso, who does this service?

Ed Milich is the only one that does it commercially that I know of.

I sent 2 to Ace in MO and he had 1/3 of weight taken off. 1 went in a custom & 1 in my V700, makes the 4 speed shift sweet.

My 94 Cali Carb has the pickup for the Marelli Digiplex.  So do other bikes both with carbies and EFI. I got both a super lightened flywheel on my LM  complete with lightened ring gear (done back in the day by Charlie Rice), and a less lightened setup with a stock ring gear on my T/ 750S tribute  bike. Both help shifting a bunch.

Ed did mine on the CX. Nice work, worth the money.

How much was it, and how does one contact Ed?

There are several different weight flywheels with the digi trigger
1100sport had them and is near as dammit the same weight as my piece of cheese machined one, if you've got this, you've won, post pic
1100 Cali on the other hand is a boat anchor
I've been using a twin plate alloy flywheel (OE style not RAM) for last couple of years, lighter than any I've used before, was about same cost as having flywheel machined.
No downside after 15K miles, but I don't wear splines on steel flywheel/boss either, don't recommend for people that do
