Hi peeps can i just say that i have had my crank for my R5k rebuilt and i have done about 130 miles so far without any problems. I phoned around alot of places and even stan stephens wouldnt touch it but he gave me a number for Chris Appleby, I think he's in essex but cant remember for sure.

Anyways heres his number = 01268 776642

crank cost me £430 all in inc postage and took roughly 10 days from start to finish and turns out he does all stan stephens multi cylinder crank rebuilds so thats all the RGV's TZR's RD's KR1S you get the drift. Very expensive but he knows his stuff and sorted it with out any problems at all, he told me he has done loads of them.

for the £430 it was totally rebuilt with new rods and bigends new center seal and bearing and both outer mains also. Hope this helps
