Stock rods and crank. I have not torn it apart yet so I am still not sure exactly what it is. I was pushing the bike long and hard riding in the upper rev limits for extended periods. I will update my build thread with more details and pictures once I get to that point.

I drilled a big hole on a 6" x 6" piece of 2x6, inserted the alt end of the crank and used it as a door stop. I hear they make good boat anchors too.   ;)

Thanks BrandEn for the update and I hope you find the cause soon when you pull the engine.

Good luck

All great photos - one thing to add:

PLEASE ALSO ADD THE LOCATION WHERE THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN
- we all like to learn a little more geography and find out about interesting places outside our own areas.

Thank you and have a great ride!!

cheers
