WOW ! Wade you must have somthing really out of balance...sure a counterweight crank will help...at full rpm every gram out is a pound swinging...so a little makes a lot quick...sometimes it is mis-matched pistons..or a replacement rod...but I would sure look at the other revolving stuff too...like your flywheel...check it for wobble (before you remove it) and then have your cluch cover and flywheel balanced (easy to get those balanced)...the Restorer had a tip on balancing your fan..if your really energetic...pull your engine apart and send in the pistons and rods to be balanced...replacing the crank will help...but it really seems that somthing else is wrong...my stockers don't vibrate to bad...actually pretty smoothe at road speeds...maybe ya could use some lock-tite on that mirror too...Joel
