Strip,clean,inspect,balance and weld with new big ends and mains came to £580.
Was it a Z1100R crank or one from something else?
(I thought the 1100R had the Unitrak engine and the crank came from the factory with the centre pin welded)

Re: Z1100r my tale of woe
probably cost me more than the bikes value. but its worth it to me as i wanted one since they were released. i only had to wait 30yrs.
if the club wants to use it for a display stand, no problem.

Tell me about it - me Harris for one
Still a great hobby (these bikes) as you can always get a bulk of the value back if needed ..... Get it on the stand lad
