Anyone remove their belt from the balancer shaft? 10lbs less mass to spin might be wroth it. If you have, How bad is the vibration? did anything bad happen after a while?
After looking at the HC rules, it looks like removing the shafts would not be legal, but belts are open, so removing the belt should be ok.
You can remove the belts but not the shafts unless you are going to argue that the removal of the shafts was essential to the balancing of the engine Billy removed his way before thoughts of running H2 so I'll let him slide (until he beats me ) I didn't notice much of a change when my balancer belts were left off after a timing belt change.

I also have the belt removed. I can't comment on any added vibration. I have ES engine mount insterts and the vibration seems the same. *shrug* ie: no added vibration feel over the engine mount vibration.
