WTB: Crankshaft

#1 Post by evan_calgary » Sun Dec 17, 2023 10:49 pm

Been some time but getting back into motocycles. Picked up a project from Rory but came without a crank.

Looking for either a re-buildable core or a good useable crank.

If Calgary but can ship to Montana if you're in the USA.

Thanks!
Evan

With the wide availability of new cranks at good prices is it worth the cost and trouble to buy and rebuild an old crank? You may save some money, but with an unknown used crank you may end up paying more, not to mention the time and trouble involved.

I agree with John. I have used 2 Vito's cranks now successfully. Yep, you will find bad reviews but mine are working as they should.

Did you find a crank?
I have some in Ontario if you want. Core or ready to install.

The last time I bought a center "chunk" it was almost $500 CDN and I waited almost a year from partzilla

Managed to find one locally and get it rebuilt from my engine guy. Saved a bit but less than expected after replacing a bunch of parts. Thanks for the posts!
