M C supply con rods
« on: July 08, 2016, 02:37:06 PM »
I have bought a set of new old stock Japanese M C Supply forged alloy con rods off eBay for my 750 Honda. Has any one had any experience with using these rods? Will they survive 70mm pistons?

Dino from Hackawek used them in his build, why not ask him?

No one else here has used them that I know of.

I think Carpy had a cache of them he was selling.  I don't know anything about their quality.

The question is 'how long' and how will you ride. You'll have to notch the bottom of the cylinder liners. If you put serious money into your engine these MC $ will be the weak link. Falicon and Carrillo are available $$$. 'Super Rods' are available $$. I used a set of specially made by APE set of Crowers $$ 1/2$ in my 1000.

The Cycle X rods are a good value for the $.  If you are building a truly high performance motor, then go with Carrillos.

Carillo cost "only" $300 more than Super rods.
My costs came later and still coming when I got thoughts about the Carillos + APE crank should work harder when they can... 71.25mm 10.5:1 custom pistons from Dynoman and cylinder from Mike Rieck...
