hotdog - do you still rebuild cranks?

dadygcycles - could you give me an idea how much it would cost to send to Australia? hotdog - mechanic I use says $1k to rebuild my crank. Funny enough I sold a reasonable useable 447 crank not long ago to fund this crank rebuild.

Hi all, I recently purchased a race engine that from what I know, built for flat track/motocross. This engine has a compression of around 13:1 or slightly higher, high compression pistons, crank got a cut and rephased to 270 degree and the carbs are re-jetted to runs on methanol. The previous...
