Don't care for their rod sets at all , have a bucket with 1/2 dozen cores where the crank pins started cratering out and knocked out the small rod end on all of them . I do use their balance tools but I've played with the % factor from 50 to 65% over the years in different motor configurations , this coming from several old school reputable builders Truett & Osborn being one , I use their wheels and they are raw out of the box you have to balance before use .
NOW you know we tryed that in a street EVO motor it went 12 years 65,000 miles and the owner still complains that the motor had more torque the other way -- its what Indian had found racing as well hahahhaahaha its in the wip of the rods as they are turning

Indian put the female rod in the front and you true up the wheels with the front piston left off the front rod - thats how you balance it - the wheels look like sporty wheels small diam - the same size - and much lighter than the Big twin -- i just do it with the S&S tooling at 57 percent as i have over the years come to find we are driving the old stuff much faster then ever before, and the lower the number the faster it is spining the better the balance feel - you find the same thing or something different
