A Lightened Flywheel will have a fairly large amount of material removed from the back, but if you have not got a standard flywheel to compare to, then it may be hard to spot. A Lightened non-EFi flywheel ought to weigh something like 5kg I would have thought, so there's another way.

Alternatively, post a pic of the back of it (not the friction face).

How much is it anyway? As I can get them done fairly cheaply.

get it balanced by all means, but lightening it is little use on a CVH

That looks like a standard one to me, is it just me or is there still numbers stamped in the back? These wouldnt be evident if its been machined.

However, if you're looking for a flywheel i will have one spare in the near future as im converting to EFI. Depends how quickly you need it?
