The balance shafts are driven directly off the crank so why do you need a "Kit"? The balance shafts are there more than just for creature comfort. It is an inline engine, as such, there are no counter-oppossing forces to cancel out the inherent harmonic distortions. HD can be real engine killers if left unchecked. If you remove BS then you wil need a full balance on the rotating assembly, forged assemblies, and a fluid dampner to make the motor last.

Wrong. These are second order harmonics that vibrate the block and consequently transmit vibrations into the cabin. This is something most consumers will not tolerate. They bear no deleterious effect on the internals at all. If anything the shafts put more strain on everything inside, since other parts are stressed having to spin them. In addition they churn and aerate the oil.

Yeah, it vibrates. I don't know if it would bother you guys or not. I have no idea what your tolerance level is. You have to remember I also have solid motor mounts and my car is a race car. You may elect not to do this for a daily driver.

question...the oil pump has a chain that is driven by those balancer shafts along with the timing chain itself going down to the gears so how exactly did you removed the balance shaft assembly and not affect the oil pump and the timing chain?
