i saw one where a guy added another section of case and ran a counterbalancer. this one is definitely not thought through too well.....

There's a lot of work gone into that - modification to the center cases & the corresponding side cover mods, etc.
I assume it's going in a quad as his other vids are quad based - and as I've read that the 250 quad chassis' fall apart as std ( SH custom frame still sold, I think), a counter balancer would be of use. Quads just don't register with me........................
I see a Finner top end behind, perhaps that's going on - though, if the fellow can do what he did with the balancer, it wouldn't be much of a step to retain the water pump. I think the knocking noise is him dinging up the cases with the rod
It would be interesting to see better pics of the case mods, to assess the workmanship. If done properly, it could be a very useful mod for some applications.
A counter balancer would help every singles & BEARS racing single cylinder special I've done over the years - vibrating big singles (either 2t or 4t - many older 4ts didn't have c-bs and were often worse than the 2ts for vibration) biggest limitation Was /Is vibration, even with crank balancing done. You'd be perpetually repairing various cracked/ broken components, or having riders simply not able to use the bikes to their full potential because of arm, foot, butt numbness & Bad vision problems. When done right, a big single cylinder road racer is enormous fun. Victimizing blokes on full on RR bikes/ the latest Superbike during track days or open racing class', with a potent single ,is one of life's great joys!

Shit that's cool for a dragster. Who cares if it's an air cooled top end, if it's a 500 it will run cool enough for drags. Does the cr500 air cooled top end bolt right onto a water cooled bottom end?

I think they might? I've seen some pictures of a twin engine HC'er, with finner top ends on later model bottom ends.
Others here would know for sure if it can be done simply.

studs gotta be moved, or the holes in the jug forsure

I have thought about this ever since I first rode my 450. The 500 would get a hole-lotta more attention! My hands and feet still ache from last weekend. I only rode it for 4 hours! (feels the same as a 3 day weekend on my 450)
