    New bearings and seals are going in both ends to freshen things up. The machine shop wants $190.00 labor to put in my lower rod bearing with me supplying the parts. Seems a little steep to me? What do you think...

    Hmm..havent had a crank rebuilt in awhile but standard hourly rate around here at motorcycle shops is $75. I think last one cost me like $80-90 and the Lakes Motorsports owner even welded it for free since he thought it would be better (which of course it was).

    I supplied the rod kit I got for $60. I had like $150 into it.

    I found a machinist who works out his garage pretty cheap and he does all kinds of stuff like sleeves and boring. He did a iron sleeve bore job while I waited and watched for $20 cause he was taking his wife out right after. He has parts and does a lot of snowmobile engine builds.

    If you want to ship the crank these guys do awesome work at a very good price $50. I have had them rebuild 5 or more for me.

    Did you cut the rotors on a brake lathe?
    What did you do to them?

    Oh my gosh, yes the yard and farm work are getting in the way. I tinkered a little last night on the Tecate and received some spacers that go from 4x4 to 4x110 for the Honda wheels I have. I am still looking for an aluminum tank? Phantom , Flying W is way good at powder coating and attention to detail. He gets the credit for the PC.

    I'm restoring a 84 found it very hard to get parts as I am from the UK. There was only ever 8 kxt 250's brought into the UK.
    I had this +6 axle made with honda hubs with 110 pcd

    Keep up the good work it will look awsome when done
