rockenrail Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 These rods are fucking garbage. Matter of fact these rods are the reason I got out of the sport a few years back. I put a brand new set of these rods in my engine along with a brand new pair of sleeves, bore job and pistons. Got a half a summer out of the motor before it grenaded and ruined EVERYTHING. My cylinder actually ripped the studs out of the case when it came apart. I ended up parting the bike out after that issue. I am just now putting another bike back together. Here are some pics.......look closely at the center of the first picture for the g-115 you were asking about. Quote

quadgod211 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Posted January 14, 2015 That's kinda what I'm doing too but I'm trying to beef up a wang crank I figured the webs was decent enough that if I put a good set of rods and some good case bearings on the ends it should be a decent crank for a season or so Quote
sleeper06 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Posted January 14, 2015 Would like forged 7 mil , or billet I called crank works they wanted 800 for wheels, tdr says he won't sell em , I have a wsm account I might just buy a 7 mil and break it down and swap parts Quote
