Why not just send it to Germany where the bikes were built? Hey just a thought.

Thanks for the reply.
Will be visiting UK soon and would like to discuss with overhaul specialist.
Crank is in a bad shape and it may not be worthwhile to overhaul .

Well you cant just put it in

Well you cant just put it in your carry on suite case and go threw customs anymore. Why dont you take to a good machine shop for an opinion. If its as bad as you say im not sure I would want someone to weld it up grind it down and hope for the best. I have seen them for $1200-1500 USD. What is that 500-600 pounds? If in bad shape it will cost that much to repair......Sorry just thinking out loud, Bill.
Around London maybe your best bet.

Thanks for your input.
I would tend to agree with you although I have just been through customs etc out of the UK with easily the same weight as a crankshaft in BM spares , no problem .
To overhaul a crankshaft in bad condition is not easy and there is no one in South Africa I would trust to do the job.
