I don't know if it has been asked before, but why not put the counterweights on each side, very close to the crankcase shell :?:

I has definitely been a subject of discussion with many points of view.
My personal view is that the counterweight should be split evenly with the counterbalance for each cylinder split and located on each side of that cylinders rod.
On my crank it would mean splitting the center weight and likely adding some heavy metal on each side weight.
I probably will not add heavy metal to this crank but when I get to removing the excess counterweight that is present I will be splitting the center counterbalance and removing the excess weight from the center to move it closer to what I would consider ideal. Jim
