I think it's a good idea, once the balancing issues are sorted out it's a great way to find out if what your doing to your bike is actually making a difference. Rather than just going off the seat of your pants
Try explaining why a accident happened to your insurer, '' well i had my bike 4 feet off the ground on a big metal drum we took from a steam roller on a home made dyno i made while doing 170MPH '' and bang goes your no claims bonus.
The drum is the rear roller off a little "steam roller". We bought it from an excavation company for $20. It is definitely NOT balanced which is why the whole stand was jumping up and down on the first pull.
Our next step is to balance the roller. I found a method to dynamically balance it with two accelerometers, an oscilloscope and a whole lot of math. We have everything needed but it is cold outside so it's been pushed to the back burner.
We aren't really concerned with accuracy. Our goal is to make it consistent and repeatable so we can see the effect of jetting and timing changes.
I was inspired to start this project after reading the TDK Motorsports Inertia Dyno web site. The basic concept, and math, came from them. Though, our setup is considerably different and I wrote my own software.
Looks like you used a water heater as the drum.. lol

you could put a little bit of water in it and it would balance out..... or blow up,one of the two. just make sure you get video of it!

great attempt. can you explain what math idea's you used to support your accuracy?
