So looking to see what crank and bearings guys are using on the high compression builds and what other internals guys are using. Also I don’t know what kind of machine work will be needed in the bottom end as well. I’m not afraid to spend money on this project as I’m not in a hurry for it. I have a motor in the bike now that I’m still running but wanting to build a good big bore motor for it.
In order to get 124 with a stock cranks you'd have to bore to 4.25. I wouldn't do it and I own a 131..
