Get a loaner tranny, or loaner stock flywheel, and do an individual swap and test run, after seeing those pics of the flywheel I'm very surprised it hasn't come apart yet, I bet if you did an NDT inspection on it you'll be surprised...(none destructive type test) ie, dye penetrant or eddy current type of inspection. I don't know how it's not warping flexing etc under torsional loads etc. I can appreciate the lighted flywheel concept but I think this particular one was done by someone that was a little to ambitious, lacking technical thought of the consequences.
I really enjoyed seeing you go through all that meticulous work, bringing that beautiful machine back to its glory, my hats off to you. I can also understand your frustration, but at this point to eliminate any doubt as to what it is, I would like to see a loaner tranny in it, if I had it I would send it to you right now from Texas. but for now Put the bike away,, go grab your favorite beverage, go sail for a while...Just go away and relax. A question to the airhead community, is the tranny compatible with another model, year? One that didn't have this known problem? I hate to see you spend a dollar more....but it is a labor of love.
