It is a shame that the fins are both on the same side, because I have heard people say that if a couple of fins are missing, leave well alone.

I bought a finless AF flywheel off Hippy Jerry a few years back and fitted a plastic flywheel from Beedspeed. It was a bit of a faff to fit to ensure that it was sound, but it worked well. It would still be on there, but I picked up another one with a full set of fins at Wicksteed for £35.

bash some off at the oposite side to balance it up!!!!! dont put heat on it!

Its designed for cooling so less fins meens less cooling :fb:

that kind of answers my question ..i was conserned that tigging it would wreck it

[joee]

didn't some tuners remove odd fins to "aid" cooling? think it was taffspeed and something to do with the covers they used.
I could be wrong, wouldn't be unusual but i wont lose any sleep over it

[RICSPEED]

these look a bit crap to me

[joespeed]

yes but you can get the weight down quite a bit and the fins are nylon which means 'flexy'.
