Hi guys, I bought a new crank last week. Mine was okay (I think) but I thought id just change it seen as the whole engine was apart. I had my suspicions that the seal was going on it anyway.

I bought the crank from GT performance and mentioned that I was a member here and they kindly gave me a 10% discount which I was over the moon with. I searched around and I found GT performance to be the cheapest for a brand new in the box Crank. Im going to send my old crank to them to get redone now too because I found them so helpful. The rebuild/restoration of the bike and engine is going great. we're almost there.

I love it prelude... "The rebuild/restoration of the bike and engine is going great. we're almost there."
Yet the crank has just arrived in a cardboard box

It just shows how far stripped down it has been and how properly it has been done...good work, soon be crackling down the road! 👍

i'll do a thread when its all done

I look forward to that, can you upload some images of the bike as well?

i will. its basically just a frame right now lol

Are you aiming for a brand new look and feel or a sympathetic refurb...or maybe somewhere in the middle?

An MC21 found me in October last year and I decided to go for a "deep clean" over winter, whilst refreshing parts that need it to MOT & run safely. I want it to look period for this year, run it around a bit and then decide what to do next winter. Maybe spend the big bucks then (yet it's still cost a bob or two to get to where I am now!)

I think they look best in silhouette and period colours. TYGAs latest NSR500V kit looks great though, but I say it's a bit like having a Ferrari... your first has to be original and red! The second one, all bets are off!

So, best you each go and find a second NSR!

Oh I think I see what you mean....one for everyday use and then one for best? (I wonder if the missus will see it that way )

Yep! You need another! Already!

I bought one from GT, no discount...

did you ring them and ask and tell them youre a member of the forum?

You will have to ask nicely. GT's policy [from the MD] is no discount on parts, so you do have to be nice to Nicky in the parts department. She responds well to chocolate... just saying!
