Can anyone recommend someone to rebuid my MC18 crank (preferably up north), and any estimate of how much it might cost? I will wait till I get some new barrels then try to crack on from there.
Cheers

hi mate i know what a nightmare this can be, i got genuine seals from fowlers (bristol) and bearings (outers) from a company called grampian in liverpool, i was quoted between £400 and £500 to rebuild, try chris applebee 01268 776642
good luck

Cheers mate.

Looks like I'll be enrolling at night school and learning to craft a new one out of Edam and mouse droppings (better quality, respectively, than Honda Nickasil and big end bearings, apparently). Or am I just sore that it happended so soon into NSR ownership.

Its madness that they are so expensive to rebuild!! I'm dreading mine going when it does! Think the rgv cost me £200 to rebuild, all new parts bar the l/h outer web. And got a brand new lc crank with tz rods and bearings for £220 brand spankers!

Bloody honda! Dont start me on nc30 spark plugs either... argh!

On another note, might be worth trying pj engineering in Wolverhampton for a rebuild but the scousers (Grampian) are pretty much the same..

Cheers
Paul

You want to be very careful here, you wouldn't be the first guy to be bitten by someone who claimed they could rebuild the crank only to have it lock solid 500 miles later wreaking the cases at the same time.

StephenRC45 has the kit to do them, no idea if he still is though and he's about as far south as you can get.
