cb350k crankshaft
« on: October 18, 2007, 12:15:13 PM »
One of the big ends has gone on my cb350k and I have been told by an engineer that they cannot be repaired.  Does anyone know anyone in GB who would sell a second hand one or knows how these can be reconditioned?  The CB250k crank would do although the conrods are thinner.

Get to Stafford this weekend, you should find something there at a reasonable price.

try www.davidsilverspares.co.uk he did have some NOS also there used to be a firm called Alpha bearings somewhere arround Brum who repaired anything and there was an article in Classic Bike some time back about crank repairers

I'm not sure where you're from, but they certainly aren't light :)
