We love to watch all builds. big or small. I have learned more from some of the small builds around here to be honest.
Keep in mind when you have it balanced. Balance factor is about chassis harmonics.

a good balanced engine idles and runs smooth like a swiss watch . any vibrations of an unbalanced crank would kill bike performance in any way...
to post pictures you need a photohoster like photobucket or anything else that you like more . if you look here into the message icons, you find "insert image". click it, copy the url of the pic in and voila your pic is here..
Motorrad:
You can never fully balance a single CLY motor. you only change the range of vibration, and angle of vibration.
for example. old husqvarnas are balanced in the 78+% range. nice and smooth (smoother than a K5 actually).
try that with the K5. vibration city.
I shouldnt have said its ALL about chassis hermonics. should have said its a factor.
the way the motor is mounted, and the chassis design , as to how it transmits its hermonics through the chassis to the ground. to some degree
there is a good thread around here somewhere about balance factors.

my plan right now is to mount it as rigid as possible. Lance
