Another note to the crank issue, while at a dealer buying parts the owner who I know came up and asked how the bike was running, I told him that the crank took a crap and he says to me "Yeah you and about a gazillion others too". So make of it what you want. These are some of the reasons why folks wont buy American vehicles anymore.

You can actually buy a crank pinned,welded n balanced for about 500.00 bucks! Not sure if theres a core charge or not.
