i quick up date. crank is is going away tomorrow to have the journals welded and re-ground, wiseco piston is going with it to have the piston port put in. the crank will be rebuilt with an oem rod. it will all be dynamically balanced as a complete unit with the piston and oem gudeon pin (lighter that wiseco) and ignition flywheel. so it should, hopfully be a super smooth motor when built. awaiting bottom link and head stock bearings

Looks great Jonny, When your crank is balanced. Would you  like to ask at which balancefactor they
balanced your crank? I found out what it means, am trying to do it my self.
I have heard of a factor of 56% and 60%. Only scarry thing is that I'll choose the wrong factor.



Thanks Dutchie

crank is still away. the bearings arrived and have been fitted (heads stock and linkage) shock clean and fitted. i used the baking soda blaster idea for some of the parts including rear brake. this is awsome for cleaning cast alu parts. the rear brake caliper looked like it had just been dug up. sorry i didnt get befor pics but take a look at the after pic and see for yourselves. i can see light at the end of the tunnel now :-D

It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

rear wheel, sub frame and air box on. the paint on the sub frame was rock hard. took aroung 4 hours of sandin and blasting + nitromores. forks are striped ready for seals and slide bushes coming tomorrow. still no crank yet but should be coming this week. i rang applebees the other day and they are very buzy. i see that as a good thing (as long as my crank isn't too long)

front forks have new seals and guide bushes, new oil and a good clean inside and out, new tyre on the front and dug some bars out. front brake disc was damaged so will have to get another. just thought i would pop the tank and seat on it so i could have a sit on it (boys never grow up)  :lol: felt good.  :-D
