Go here and then into freeware
its a useful program , I recommend splashing out for the software , its cheap , and works well also , Tony is very "emailable " like every time I upgrade my software and need a new license from him ,,,,
Sorry off topic a bit , but there was an old fella , passed away a few years back , raced an Enfield at Ruapuna always midfield towards the front ( which was good ) anyway when he passed away I was lucky to buy a lot of his stock , at a good price , Thank you that man
anyway The one thing I find very interesting , is that the Enfield designed in the thirties with a pencil and slide rule ( still have mine somewhere ) even today, when I check using modern techniques and the super computers, the numbers come out without an ounce of fat ! bang on
for example I was looking at the cooling , Fins , end result just enough fins to do exactly what the bike was designed to do . all done back then with pencil and paper. amazing
What I WILL buy when I go to NZ for a holiday is a better drawing board , cant really get them here cheapish ....
Carry on as you were

and there is a crank balance calculator free, on tonys site as well
