 The 4 bearing sizes are all stock and within a few ten thousandths so there is not enough room to allow grinding. As far as we know no one has ever found oversize bearing shells.  Hopefully your crank will polish up.

Hi Joe,
There was a company in Australia that used to make oversize bearings for the 750 Honda, it was ACL. As far as I am aware they stopped production a long time ago but I did see two sets advertised on Ebay about 2 years ago so you never know what you may find with some luck.  The longest shot may be google up ACL and see if they have old stock.
cheers Johno

Might be cheaper to find another crank in good shape with rods.

Get this good looking one for a lower price
