Plain bearing twin crankshaft services?
28 May 2020 16:42
I would like to have a crankshaft for my KZ750 twin balanced. I used Falicon last time but they got bought up and no longer offer crank services. I called APE and they wanted nothing to do with it because its a twin. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reliable shop that can balance a plain bearing twin crank and rotating assembly? I also need some other odds and ends done like sizing the connecting rod small end for DLC coated wrist pins.
thanks
thanks

Gardner only does press together cranks. PDM as in Les Holt?

HVCCycle has rebuilt a 2 piston 2 stroke crankshaft for me before. Might do a 4 stroke. Worth a Google.

They are only doing press together cranks. Thanks for the tip though.
