I realize you might be on a certain budget....but this is one of those areas where OEM is the only way to go,and you'll be glad you did...I paid $525 for my new complete OEM crank with my discount...if you shop around,you might find one close to that.

I have seen WAY too much bad from the Hotrods / wiseco cranks.


For the K5.  the rods are like playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun

If your crank halves are good I would have these guys rebuild it.
