Just thought I would see if there is any difference between the 5 and 6 speed flywheel for a 8?

Was guessing not but could be wrong, if so may the lightened fly wheel I got my hands on will be no good :shock:

Should have probably asked this first but can always sell once it arrives..

They are different. The 6 speed one has a larger friction area and is a good upgrade for any 5 speed Evo as long as you match the clutch to it as well obviously :)

No probs. as said if its the 5 speed one you'll need a 5 speed clutch. It it's a 6 speed then you'll need a 6 speed clutch.
Overall diameter of the 2 flywheels are the same :)

The 6speed has a larger friction area. No idea how you tell just by looking though :)
