Crankshaft regrind?
« on: November 04, 2017, 02:21:56 PM »
I can't find anyone locally to regrind the 850T crankshaft. Big end journals will have to be turned down to 43.225mm to accept .762mm bearings. Who can the group recommend?

 You're in Colorado? Racers, cars and bikes, mention  Mile High Crankshaft in Denver

Yup, Dave at Mile High Crankshaft has a great reputation.  25 of years racing and I've never heard a complaint.

When regrinding - be aware that you should have as big a radius as possible (in the corners).
Sharp angle will destroy the crankshaft under heavy load.
