Whats DK?
Dolomite_:
So after doing some googling and watching videos on how to measure the crankshaft, I've ordered a micrometer. So I'll try to measure and work out the sizings for the shells, buy 1 set, measure with plastigauge then order a full set of shells or 1 set of the next size up and plastigauge again.
Could I get some opinions on the crankshafts I have linked?
400fourbits also has one for sale. https://400fourbits.co.uk/
After Teds recommendation could someone take a look at these 2 options https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312044879538?itmmeta=01HQXPVR92HVDMQ5AS8Q6HNVN8&hash=item48a752feb2:g:ZS4AAOSwi0lg3u8q and https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313344578679?itmmeta=01HQXPVR92FYBSGWTXTKKDEPWH&hash=item48f4cad477:g:13QAAOSw5FRgbExl
Or if any of the other ones I've linked seem good let me know.

dkmotorcyclespares an eBay shop they break imported bikes. They also have a website iirc.
Bryanj:
If 400four bits has one he is a member on here as as far as i know fully trustworthy.
Personaly i would buy crank and rods as chances are the big ends would be ok and you would only need to buy mains.
No offence meant but if you are ordering a micrometer to measure the mains you wont be accurate enough, the correct use of mics is an art and the accuracy required is not easy to learn, you would be better taking it to a good engineering firm for accuracy
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I second what Bryan has said I bought a Micrometer that in all honesty was not really accurate enough - I relied heavily on the use of Plastigauge - that stuff is not always as easy to use as it sounds if like me you do not have an engineering background.
I have found Steve at 400 bits gives an honest description as to condition as does DK.
