This is a hard to understand post that I started (and I’m sorry for all the bickering), so I’ll take this response as the definitive one.
There sure seems to be a lot of very high power builds popping up here from the usual big builders and I’d be scared to death to go on a long trip with the stock bottom ends then.

Call S&S and ask them if they're going to be making M8 cranks. If they're that bad there should be a market for better ones.
I've never heard of one going bad yet. I'm curious if the wheels are wider along with the bigger pin...

So what are the usual big builders using? If it's a stock M8 crank then we should feel confident of setting out on that trans-global trip with not a care in the World.....
