Wow!~ Very cool mate! You got balls. That's a man who is willin to take the plunge! Great work there. Please keep us informed. A certain gender might not be as interested to see the vibes canceled out, but this is a well needed improvement. Kudos to ya, very impressive!

I saw your youtube videos. Beside the counterbalancer, looks like you did a forward kicker? Could you post some picks of how you set that up. Give us an update on how everything works. You've got me all F&%#ed up, wanting to build another 500 quad. After 4 years of repairing constant vibration cracks and breaks, I sold it. I went with a counterbalanced XR650r engine. It's cool but there's nothing like the feel of a five-hundo.

Well i fired it up with all new standard crank and added weight to the balancer wow what a difference quad doesnt dip forward when i hit the throttle and theres only slight vibes at full throttle cant beleive it finally gunna be able to ride it without bolts fallen out.
