A photo of what to expect when you get your crankshaft back Mike. Yours will still have the sprocket for the balance shaft.

I have figured out that you can run without your balance shaft. What you need to do is balance your crankshaft to a Balance Factor that will keep the vibrations out of the most used RPM range.

A good example is a race bike that doesn't spend anytime below 8k revs. You can balance the crankshaft to a BF that will make it vibrate down low in the rev range but not at 8k or above.

No good for a bike that spends anytime at all on the street.
