The only draw back, for example on mine, I don't want the large flexplate spinning around the open areas of my swing arm, so i am on the hunt for something smaller. I found some honda B series flywheels that would be small enough and a friend who has a pile of starters laying around, but I would have to use a manual trans flywheel, and I don't want all that extra rotating mass.
