I know that Darkhorse and Hoban do great work with cranks. Also, you could check with Revolution Performance www.revperf.com

beau, thanks for the info. I will be doing a lot of reading over the next several months figuring out what I want to do. I know I want to add the D&D Fat Cat, I'll give up the looks of the 2 into 2 for the performance of the 2 into 1.

I guess if my crank is true enough, then the gear drive cam stuff is bolt in right?

I am very curious to know more about the vibrations on a bike with too much crankshaft runout. Could you please describe in greater detail the vibrations you experienced?

That is, does it occur across the rpm range or at a specific rpm range? Did it start as more of an annoyance, and become a “rattle the mirrors off type” of vibration? What was the mileage through this change? Is it worse than an old solid mount Evo?

I apologize if I am asking too many questions. The basic reason for my questions is that I would like to know the symptoms of too much runout.
