To weld or not to weld?... That is the question.
« on: July 29, 2013, 06:06:17 am »
From what I gather, the 87 zillas had problems with the rivets loosening on the flywheel.  I have seen 2 fixes for this.  Replace with a later model flywheel ( over $200 new), or get the existing one welded.
Which is better?

Most people weld them up. I believe the small hubs were replaced by the large hubs which had probloms too.

If the 87 flywheel is welded BEFORE it becomes loose, a welded flywheel will be a reliable flywheel.
