What do you think of these flywheels for the price at $170.00? There are other vendors selling flywheels near this $170.00 price range. They are about $160.00 cheaper than some others that are online.

I bought a conversion flywheel from them (Type 4 in a Type 1) and the boring around the crank was wrong, both ID and OD. So it wouldn't fit on the crank, and the seal would have worn out quickly.

But that is a different unit/design than their stock flywheel which I haven't used. I would recommend measuring carefully before use.

My type 4 flywheel is already bolted up to the crank/ case. No issue + I contacted another member here that is already utilizing it for some time with no known issue.
