turnaround was about 2 weeks on my crank, 4000 miles since with no probs.

Wonder what the choice of new rods is (if you need them). S&S? Carrillo?

Maybe they could make a bigger pin.

Sounds good. Has anyone got any experience of these guys?

Martinwill who happens to be listed above

Carrillo do some, although this page is a little confusing talking about 1.25" diameter but listing 1.5" diameter.

From the Carrillo catalogue:


And our chum ericz has had his crank rebuilt by Darkhorse Crankworks, details here

Obviously, cranks weigh an arm and a leg, so shipping to the US and back is going to be expensive.

I've used them too. Highly recommended, proper old school. Repaired a cylinder head for me at a very fair price some time ago. I've got a stink-wheel crank for them to sort for me when I get round to it.

It's not clear from my borrowed PC if Carrillo do rods for a '9'.

Love the look of that crank by Darkhorse.....I want one!

Not seen any rods for a 9, but Carrillo will make specials.

The dark horse crank of ericz is an 08/09/10 model. I am wondering whether 00/01/02/03/04/05/06/07 crank webs can be bored to suit a bigger pin and use the same rods. Would save you having to buy a whole new crank and a new generator rotor.

Most things can be done , just depends on how deep your pockets are .
One off machining cost or specials, a hell of a lot of time is spent on the set up or making jigs and fixtures to hold the item.
The drilling or boring the hole in the right place at the right angle and right size is the easy bit once set up correctly, still a nervous time on an irreplaceable item

Don't disagree but this isn't a difficult task.

If Carrillo can make special rods then (and if you have the money) why not bore out the pin location slightly offset to stroke the motor a bit then have correspondingly shorter rods for your 9?.....my earlier plan to stretch the XB motor nearer to being square! An XB10+?

Something along these lines here
