Hi to the forum....I am not currently an NSR owner, but could well be in the near future. Not new to 2strokes having owned plenty over the years, mainly RD's, RGV's and my last 2stroke was an NS400 (regret letting that go now!). I have only owned the NS previously so I have no experience with NSR's and know very little about them in general as a bike.

So I am considering buying what I believe is an NSR250 MC18 1989 Mk11 R5K model which West Coast have for sale (its on eBay if you search). It requires a full engine rebuild which I am more than happy to do, but it doesn't have a crank. I am happy with the reason as to why the crank is missing but before I invest my hard earned I wanted to ask a few quick questions:

1. How easy is it to source a crank and which models are interchangeable?
2. Roughly how much would I expect to pay for one?
3. Who are the experts in rebuilding them in the UK?
4. Whats not available for the bike or easy to source in general?

Thanks for your help!
