As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Welded Crank

Ok I want to start looking around for the best priced place to get my crank and clutch basket welded. What type of shop should I look into having it done? I know that it is very precise work and not just any person with a welder can do it.

Also what can I expect to spend on these parts individually?

Thanks
Adam
 
Best price? I don't think I can help you there. If you want it done right Pearson and Falicon are my two choices. Do a search in this group before you ask. Its been covered.

Price is based on how fast you want to run. I sure the hell would not have a stock crank welded up without having the whole thing torn down first. My last stock crank I picked up on eBay was about a $1000. I am guessing that my next one will be closer to $1500, if it can be saved. My last clutch basket was around $400.
 
I've used Falicon and Gardener racing concepts. Neither of the cranks blew up so i would say either are good. I think Gardener may have been slightly cheaper. if i do another crank I may send it to gardener again.
 
Why are you doing this?

Early GS 1000s had problems with both of these areas, but the cranks were fixed in 79.

If you're going to drag race the motor, then the crank welding should be done.

You can get clutch baskets already done from several sources
 
Back in the day Suzuki used a special glue on the GS racing cranks
