How much could be safely machined off that one piece? I've heard stories of lightened ones flying apart destructively, I can only imagine what might happen if that occurred.

I can't say I remember which one it was specifically, but Matt R was saying him and his dad have been sucessfully lightening one of the factory flywheels for years.... wonder if he'll chime in?
