Anyone have dynamic balancing of crank/piston assembly done?

VooDoo1:
Falicon performs a dynamic balancing service for a KX500 crank and top end assembly (piston, rings, wrist pin, etc.) for $240 (includes crank rebuild, excl. parts). I'm wondering if it's a worthwhile modification in reducing vibration in comparison to just trueing the crank? Anyone have any experience with this mod.?

kawdude:
If it does make it smoother it would be worth it to me.  I recently had Forward Motion redo my crank for 135 so Falicon would need to do something major for the additional 105 bucks.

VooDoo1:
Did the Forward Motion crank work make it noticeably smoother than stock?

kawdude:
Can't say yet.  The motor's still apart.  I do know that the old crank had a worn journal which caused excessive vibration.  I expect it will be different but by how much I don't know.

teamgreen500:
If the Top-End and Crank parts are included...it's a great deal.
