So how much vibration is normal for a H2? Has anybody thought of making a different flywheel that has fluid damping
like some of the muscle cars I've worked on had. I can see that making sure all the rods, pistons, pins are balanced
but wouldn't a fluid damper do the job for the crank? I know I'm thinking outside the box on this one.

I think a counter-rotating balancer shaft is about the only hope for a triple, but I quit noticing any vibration from my H2 decades ago.
