    No damage to the head, no markings or signs of pre-det after, or before it grenaded. With a wiggle test the bearing seems to be wore a good bit but decent, I'll still go through it anyway just in case. Anybody know anyone who does crank work?
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    I like Kustom Kraft, but I think they moved to NV. You're not far from Florida, might try Falicon.

    all it is is bearings presseed on and off and crank pressed onto the case siding. any decent machien shop can do that. you can order new bearings from Honda I'm pretty certain.
    unless the crank or rods are gouged, but again any decent shop can take care of that part for ya. sounds liek you may have gotten away unscaged too badly. but if you have chips in the bottom then i would look at a new sleeve minimum for the cyclinder with the new piston. may as well get a wiesco piston for better performance and more strength than stock.
    still have the head looked at and maybe touched up. also look at maybe a small porting cleanup and new reeds.

    good luck!
