I think everybody is missing the big problem with all the NSR cranks. I am currently in need of a new web for my mc18 and this is the big problem that people are going to experience eventually including all the mc21 and 28 owners out there.
We are all aware that the crank pin cant be replaced as its part of the web and if this wears then it needs to be replaced or repaired and as yet there isnt anybody that can do this. Chris appleby claimed that he replaced the webs on my crank for my mc18 with new stock he gets from somewhere in japan but it only lasted 2500km and the left crank pin failed so i have my doubts if what he told me was true.
