the fly wheels are balanced to the internals of your motor, most take a 50oz flywheel

I have a dumb question to ask but here goes:
If the balancer is 50oz then the flywheel has to be 50oz too?

depends, if you want the vibration


50 oz spinning in front needs 50 oz spinning in back to balance out.

I have a homeade way of getting the engine to shake, ask addker about it
