What did that feel like while riding?

Starts to vibrate more, but still runs suprisingly well.

I happen to have a balance shaft with the other removable bushing end screwed up. The fixed end bearing surface is fine. PM me if it is of any use to you.

I'll be plucking my balance shaft out in the next day or 2, let me know if you need it.

the bearing surface on the other end,behind the gear is replaceable, under 2$ and the size is always "A" when new (Vs B,C,andD) now, if the very end could milled down centered so another ring could be put on, and a bolt with rataining washer to hold it on, the CB shaft would never need to be replaced, just those bushings and bearings.

It would have to be centered perfectly so as to no throw off the ballencing or create a "wobble" still might be a worth while chance. i replaced the CB in mine only to find out it was bent. you want to talk about Vibrations? 4K and up sent my "boys" to hide in my socks
