[urq] MC-2 Conversion - Flywheel question

[Todd Phenneger]

I'm still confused as to why you want to use the inferior WX Flywheel and
clutch setup.  Forget drilling new pins, etc.  I'm assuming while your in
there your going to buy a new clutch anyhow so get the stuff for the later
200 and 3b and use the Flat Face flywheel.

Much better desing IMHO.  Lighter, stronger, less mass at the outside edge,
and it bolts right up.
