But, no bottom end work, keep the heads stock, mild bolt in cam with or without 110" sounds like an economical way for good return, that's really all I'm saying, value for the return you want
It does snowball. But numbers are numbers. My run out exceeded even the updates specs. They changed them from 2007 print. Crank was scarred. Though this I noted from sticky rods. If they move free maybe don't worry.

But machines don't feel.

I never put it on a dyno, Fuel moto map seems to have been perfect.

No reason to think you need a crank. But if you ride hard,have the money, and don't want to touch it for a long bg tine it is a way to go.

I did mine cause I discovered problems. I did not want to spend the money on a bike with 70k miles. But now I know it will last engine.

With the low compression build you did that crank should outlive you.

Not sure I want that, but I hope it lasts many years

Both my builds low compression. What I a little nervous about is how heavy the springs are on my 103

@Fancierdoughnut

Don`t start buying parts until you know what you need.

Do the stuff that doesn`t cost money first, runouts, measurements etc.

You don`t need a special tool to measure runout of a shaft, just a regular mag base and an indicator, and a steel plate you can bolt to the engine case.

Take what some posters say with a huge grain of salt, especially the google regurgitator whose name rhymes with:
