[hairynob24]

G day, has anyone have any idea if chief and 741 flywheels are the same size. Looking for a pair cheers Rob

Rob
Short answer No

Looking at Geers flywheels for my 1946 Chief will also fit:
This part also fits:
Connecting Rods & Flywheels
1936 Chief
1937 Chief
1938 Chief
1939 Chief
1940 Chief
1941 Chief
1942 Chief
1944 Chief
1945 Chief
1946 Chief
1947 Chief
1948 Chief

Again Geer shows flywheels for my "1941" 741 will only fit 741

Do you need for Chief or 741?

Chief n 741 flywheels

Rob:
Upon further reflection:

"Maybe"

Please see:

http://performanceindian.com/ScoutSpecSheet.htm

"Motor: 58ci, or 955cc. Cases are 741 500cc military. Flywheels are late Chief "Z" wheels with a 4 7/16" stroke, and balanced at the 60% factor. It uses a shortened pinion pin/housing combo for the stroker job. Rods are the military Scout, also used in the 841. Cylinders are the late Sport Scout type. Heads are the late Sport Scout (milled, and re-shaped combustion chamber for 7 7/8:1 compression)."

But then again that is Jim Mosher and I am no Jim Mosher.

I seem to recall others have used H-D Sportster Flywheels in 741s

Yes, Paul,

Moen of Denmark, recently deceased and sadly missed, was producing hybrid pins to allow some sportster wheels and rods to be used, with with appropriate pistons, of course.

I've got most of a kit, and a lot of rods that nobody needs either.

Yes Thank You Tom;
It was Moen, he is GREATLY missed.
So anything is possible with the right parts, talent and resources.
(I am NO Moen either) Some very talented people.

Ok fellas thanks for the information, I will keep looking for chief flywheels

[PaulCDF]

Rob; I believe Geers and maybe Kiwi source the flywheels they offer from Truett&Osborne not sure where you are located by you could contact them (believe they have and add in the latest club magazine)
