CR750 replica build
Bryanj:
Nobody makes undersize shells so regrind don't work
Tomb:
Bryan have you Capt'Ks list of bikes? must half a million quid there alone, if you have the money you can get anything done. ;)
I once bored out a Royal Enfield conrod to take different shells, they came from an Austin Allegro that were 10 thou smaller ID to fit an undersize reground crank. It ran for years like that. As you can tell by the Allegro parts it was a looooong time ago.
Nice work Capt'K, no disrespect intended.
Bryanj:
If you have the time and cash anything is possible but for us mortals it just ain't so, I did convert a pair of triumph white metalled rods from a 500 to shells but the customer didn't like the cost, from memory £25 in the late 70's
hairygit:
Send it to S.E.P. in Kegworth, they build the crank up with submerged argon arc welding then regrind back to original spec. Can vouch for their quality of work.

I don't think the value is anywhere near half a million, I've totted the bikes up and struggled to reach 464,000 😄, on a serious note though I too can vouch for SEP, you don't have to be in a hurry though because they are very very busy!.
(PS capt'K please will you be my friend?).
