hey guys....your not going to believe this!! i bent the crank in my bike!! its at the shop right now....new crank is 1000 dollars plus lots of labor to put it in.......
yea, its down hard......they dont know how it could of happened....maybe just a bad crank....harley is going to replace the crank for me though...thats pretty cool....
DD,
How the heck did you manage to do that? Don't think I have ever heard of a crank getting bent outside of somebody blowing an engine at thedrag strip or in a collision.
yea, me either...i guess its getting a little more common than people know. there are two others in the shop right now with bent cranks....ones a cop bike.....i talked to a builder in san diego who welds the 3 part crank together before he does a 95 build.
