Hey John! Somehow missed your post above - Great to see you around again Been wondering what had happened to you. Best wishes, hope the house is working out. KB PS: RAM flywheel is indeed aluminium. Received my RAM clutch kit the other week and read with interest the supposed failure of these flywheels.While it appears to have effected the original Guzzi units and not the RAM flywheels its interesting to look at the RAM flywheel. I noticed on the inner face of the flywheel(the gearbox side) where the crank mount bolts are they have machined a mount face for the large steel washer/plate that the mount bolts go through.The outer edge of this machined face in my opinion lacks sufficient radius and this is where the failures that have occured appear to originate in the original post. I'll be disassembling the clutch unit chucking up the RAM flywheel and opening up that radius before fitting. Ciao

Well gentlemen, I'm back, nice to see that flywheels are still flying! I got a RAM replacement from Teo Lamers and it was fitted in Jaca (Northern Spain) but I've done very little with the bike since I've been building a new house which takes a little time. The RAM flywheel is a steel construction to my knowledge and is reliable as Teo Lamers have been using them for years. Best to you all, John No Ram flywheel is Aluminium.Just bought one for the V11.Sitting on my dining table. Ciao

Sounds good to me.... I think I will scrape off some paint so I don't have to lose weight. Is 246 lb. Heavy????? Get a painter to shoot some clear over it with matting agent added.Depending on weather etc the matting agent will take the gloss off the clear and give the finish you want and also UV protection as well if he uses the right stuff. Ciao
