    So i can't really find anywhere to read about pros and cons about removing the balance shaft except zzp and intense. i only got that it's bad for high end rpm especially for aftermarket cams(which im gettin the VS) and its only purpose is for luxury so the engine doesnt vibrate. Sound right? Any thoughts?

    just disable it.

    removing it requires welding the oiling oils for the bearings shut.

    Why do you have to weld the oil holes shut if you remove it? You get your oil pressure from your main and cam bearings. I removed mine completly and still hold 25 to 55psi oil pressure.

    First off..with a VS cam there is no need or use to remove/disable the balance shaft. The vibration from doing so..is horrible IMO. there's a reason why no one does it until they go double roller and have to.

    On the oil pressure. Think about the open hole you leave with oil flowing to it. You need to plug that hole if the shaft is removed.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
