Re: Crank Rebuild - Brent Hansen

Sorry to hear it Chris. That sucks when someone misrepresents a motorcycle. I agree on Brent, he did my R 50 S crank and I rev the crap out of that motorcycle and it’s smooth as can be. You will not be unhappy with his work.

Re: R51/3 front fork hex head fitting

Ramon, The holes were added for breathing when upgrading to the rubber gaitors. The holes where there to stop (or tried to stop) the rubber gaitors from collapsing when the suspension rebounded. I have seen them do it anyway even with the holes but that is why they are there. If you have metal shrou...

Re: R51/2 - replacing dinamo
