I spoke to Neil at Sigma about this t'other day, as he does flywheel lightening. When combined with lighter pistons/rods, this means a drastic loss in moving mass, making it much safer to rev higher.

Unfortunately it also means the loss of the deep duke throb that's all the character in a 2v, so I'm not too sure about getting it done. Probably easier to buy a weekend rice rocket...

Fitting a lightweight FBF flywheel was the second best thing I did for my SL (After changing the rear sprocket to a 41t). It made the bike much more rideable and fun. It still has that "lumpy" V-twin feeling but it just gets everywhere in its rev range more quickly.
