Crank welding needed with big bore kit?

[rapidray]

Actually, I pay $500.00 to have the crank done + parts. That is COMPLETE disassembly, inspection, reassembly, truing, & welding. I can get a brand NEW 1100 crank with 493 rods already on it & welded from Suzuki for $1200.00 all day long. Even at that I still send my cores to Stan & have them built by him because I know they are trued & welded correctly. MOST important, his cranks LIVE! Ray.

Last I knew, Suzuki did not sell MTC gears. But again, depends what you want.

That's why I send them to Stan. Ray.

$1500! Holy crap that's a lot of dough. Seriously I don't think I have that into the whole bike.

You want to go fast and make power it costs $$$$$$ and it cost`s more money when things go BOOM. Stan is the man for cranks.

I have been using John Pearson (Pearson Racing) in Dayton Ohio. He does very good work as well.

I thought someone bought Stan's business? Is he still running it?

That says a lot!!! I just took about 40 pounds of scrap metel (GS motor parts) to the recycle bins. Getting an ed ja ma cation costs money on these things!

Say Lecroy. Not to interupt the thread, but do you have a number for that shop? Do they do just normal boring and stuff? Ive got a 750 motor that eventually i would like to do a bore kit on, but i dont know of or trust any shops around here to do the milling and what not. I live in Dayton obviously, so i was just curious. Thanks!

I used John Pearson racing for my crank this winter. Schnitz Racing reccomended him.

I am a geek and have been to Dayton several times, if you know what I mean.... LOL.

We found John by a fluke. He has done all of my friends cranks for the last several years. T/G S/C stuff. His only problem, he's a Cow man. LOL. Tell him Team Fisher sent you.

I will have to check this guy out:-D

Oops, I guess I did not make that clear enough. John builds cranks. Sometimes in the winter he may do some side jobs but other than that, cranks. So, no normal stuff. LOL. He's a pretty good guy to work with.

I hear you on that. Here's some pics of my CB450 engine bottom end after I blew up a piston at 9,000 rpm!

Why did it let go at that low RPM?
Something wrong inside?

Not enough head-to-piston clearance

It whacked the head and broke the top; the rest is just damage from flailing around like that.

And how pray tell did you manage to run out of "head-to-piston clearance"?

BTW, nice photos.8-[
