Here is a comparison of a stock and my 7 1/2 pounder for anybody who has some ideas about trying to make their own.

How thick is it where the disc rides?

1/8 - 5/16 thick where the disk rides, it looks to me that whatever disk was used before had never chattered, it may have gotten hot, but there is no blueing just clutch fibrous smear,  So I will find out myself what an ultra lightened flywheel is like, I have only ever ran stock.
