Default Re: Counter balanced crank

I'm not disagreeing with Herm !!! especially the part about the really heavy BB crank weights . I've read that most only remove the amount from the flywheel that was added in crankshaft weight. This will only result in a status quo and no weight will actually be removed from the rotating mass . For any improvement in throttle response, more weight will need to be removed . Removing weight from the flywheel not only improves throttle response, it takes excess weight off the main bearings for longer engine life .
