There were flywheels with tooth cut off and on one flywheel the two missing teeth were welded in with some of the teeth cut off from the others. But how will you determine TDC with a 30-0 flywheel ? ;-)

I stand corrected. As I said, heresay for the most part.And yes, getting top dead center with no reference tooth must be interesting.

I just found out that Harley Davidson is now producing a bike with a 500cc V-Twin. I only saw the specs of their 750cc models, but they weren't too spectacular.

The new HD 500 is to be made in India!
