PSA: Balancing your wheels makes a huge difference for road vibrations!

Had some vibrations once I got to around 45mph+ and decided to try balancing my wheels. It's pretty wild how much smoother it rides now. Definitely worth the ~$65 for the balancer and clamp on weights. Wish I'd have done it earlier. Just wanted to share with the fellow riders out there in hopes it helps others dealing with vibes.

Got up to 85mph on my plated CRF450X with knobby Trakmaster tires and it wasn't bad at all. I read some people only balance the front but I decided to do both while I was at it. Highly recommend!

Bought a 1998 Aquasport 175 Osprey that has a Johnson 90hp on it that's been giving me issues. Want to repower it with a newer 4 stroke. I'm finding conflicting info online as to whether it needs a 20" or 25" shaft. I'm not sure of exactly where I'm supposed to measure from. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
