Crank and Pipe Recommendations

#1 Post by DRC » Wed Jun 21, 2017 8:50 am

I've had a set of Athena barrels kicking around for a longtime but just managed to pick up a decent bottom end.

I'm looking for a +4 long rod crank. The motor is going in a 84 RZ frame, mainly for road riding and a few track days. I know this is a very loaded question but what's best crank at the moment. There seems to be so much choice, Hotrods, Vito's, etc.

I'm also loooking for pipes. I was hoping to build it over the summer but I know that's Glyn's busy time. Anyone else?

TIA

Glyn is making a run of pipes coming this winter. Contact him maybe you can get a set.........maybe not. Only one way to know.
