had a SIL flywheel lightened.
then had it cnc balance checked and it was found to be 7 grams out
flywheel has now been balanced
i would estimate the amount of metal removed was the equivalent of between a 10 and 50 pence piece
unfortunately i didnt check for balance before lightening as i would have had a good comparison - will do next time
worth thinking about if anyone getting a flywheel lightened on a lathe as balancing will dramatically reduce vibration
balanced
well, when you do mine mate
you can do a before and after comparison 


win or lose have a booze

Ideally one would balance the flywheel,crank and front sprocket assembly all in one at the same time.. That's my top tip..
