I've built a crank assembly using a VB crank and rod with an 85mm goldie piston. In order to balance it I had to remove some weight around the big end eye on the flywheels. Not a lot and I did it on a rotary table on my mill. Big difference in the weights of the pistons, I guess.

Good Luck,
Paul

Before being laid up, the bike had the best charging rate I'd seen on a 6v system - you could even take it out at night! A few pointless hours were spent prodding and p...

Both of my front mudguards on 53 VH's have the same fractures as yours, and the tinworm! I'm in the process of cutting out a section on both sides and welding in new bits, a right faff. To strengthen the lot I've made a bridge to go on the inside, locating inside the beaded edge that I will then wel...

Pretty sure Pete Kemp (singles spares) has these - and single lobe VCH cam

Before this thread gets too old, I got back to the flywheels. with or without the additional weight for the oil, the T/S flywheel was a fair bit out. As Nev says, there must be some oil in there, so I've included the 8gm in the calcs. I noticed on an old forum post by Mr Brenton that his balancer al...

I bought this one last year. It's an inductive sealed unit, under a fiver, seems pretty acurate on my single, can be reconfigured for twins or fours.
