As I've noted on here before, if you get the whole deal together and it shakes you can have a balancing service come on-site and balance it up for you so all is not lost. They'll balance everything and you can then mark the newly-balanced assembly for future reference.

Are you saying there is a way to balance the flywheel to the crank with the motor assembled?
