Hey Dirk, opinions are always appreciated.
The welding didn't hurt anything but it's always a possibility...
I guess it's a good thing I have a complete MZB ignition on the way  8-)

Which flywheel did you get?

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

I had to make a adapter for my degree wheel.
Since I don't have a lathe, I decided to use a old fly wheel.
I didn't want to ruin a KX500 fly wheel so I used one from a 99 KX125.
As it turns out they are exactly the same shaft size.



I ground off the rivets...





Did a test fit on the shaft to make sure nothing had changed...



Carefully drilled the holes to maintain alignment..





It bolted up and worked perfect....
Now I need to make the pointer for the degree wheel...
Where's the welding rod ?

Toads are tasty...
In fact, served up with some wild rice and a nice Pinot Noir can be quite a good meal  :-P
Yes, that means I'm sticking my tongue out at you  :-D
