please tell me more john.
My main question right now is if a 05 1000 crank will work in 03 1000 cases. My crank is shot. I blew up my built 02 1000 motor. I have some 03 1000 cases coming. My crank is pretty bad and it will probably be cheaper to buy a used one then fix mine.
Also I was told that the 05 1000 crank was supposed to be stronger. I know of a 05 1000 crank for a decent deal if the guy still has it. I don't want to buy it if it wont work and it is not a good of enough deal to try it if I don't know if it will work. I know you posted up earlier that the 01-04 rods will work in 05 1000 motor, but the wristpin diameter is different so custom pistons would need to be made if you wanted to use the 01-04 rods in 05. So the journals are the same.
