Yes sir, my piston walls did the exact same thing with the lower bearing failure, decision time - decison time
Check out the Ultima 4 5/8 crank assembly for a low budget repair ($550) which is a bolt in 89" you are going to need to replace the pistons anyway.
Check the metal damage everywhere! hidden costs are lurking

tappet roller?start tearing it down.if it is a tappet roller,you`ll see it.if not,keep going,you`ll know if it a crank pin as soon as to remove top end(from rod play).if its a c. pin,tear motor down,split cases and take lh case with f/w ***`y to him,he can press out f/w`s,replace pin,pull f/w`s back in lh case and you can reasseble motor(didnt look at pics before i posted,defentatly looks like your getting mtal from somewere,most likely the pin)

The total teardown and rebuild to what it was with cyl. bored .020 over, myself doing the work new pistons and rings, rebuilt trued and new bearings for the flywheel, and resleeved connecting rods, retaining his cams and heads which are not stock is only going to cost under $1000. He was going to trade the bike or sell it but didn't want to do that to anybody. So to save on the cost and not sell anybody a broken bike this was the cheapest way to do it and do it honest. He wants a touring bike so no need for any more build-up on the engine. We looked at the crate motor and it's just more than he wants to spend on something he's not keeping. If he were keeping it he would definitely go bigger on a crate. Thanks guys and if anyone needs help with engine work in the sorrounding area of Gastonia I recommend Earl Calhoun. He's a straight shooter and he's been making bikes run better for over 42 yrs. Real nice guy. Ride safe
