Longevity still remains to be seen but for the record I only got 14k miles out of the AMD...

That clutch sounds really good! A few questions:
Did you resurface your flywheel? Which flywheel are you using?
How did you know the AMD failed, was it slipping?
I've been on the fence about replacing my AMD 3+ clutch for a while, it looks like the Ringer Racing piece could be a good option.
Yes, my flywheel is from SteveKen's adapter kit. It was resurfaced with a 7.5mm step. I also pressed in a new pilot bearing. It was removed for the machine work but felt dry and didn't roll smoothly anyway.
I didn't know it was at the end of it's life. Unfortunately, after a mishap replacing cam chain tensioners, I ended up sourcing a whole new motor. I discovered its state while swapping over parts.
I planned on sharing the story here eventually. It was a wild ride where I ran across some interesting findings. Just happy to have it all back together again
