I also have a CM fly for my GSR. No problems here.

hows the clutchmasters fly? its at 7.5lbs, is this too light?

what baout loss of trq off the line? is this true with the lighter flywheel?

also what are the advantages of say a 7.5lb or a 9lb fly over the ITR one?

thanks in advance

TODA works just fine for me. Had it for almost 2 years and 4 clutchs later, and still looks good.
The other choice I would consider would be the Fidanza. Seem to be a good value...

i agree with hybrider, you do lose torque with a lightened flywheel...but its a trade off with running through your gears quicker.

You lose torque with a lightened flywheel because you don't have as much weight to add to the centrifugal force when it spins.
