R69s crank - long conrod Vs shorter conrod
However in my parts manual I see only one R69s crankshaft complete part number - 11 21 0016066
If I assumed then that there are two different sorts of pistons - with different locations for the piston pin - would that be correct?
Could anyone throw some light on this matter for me?
Thanks in advance.

RealOEM shows only one part
-- 54.5mm crank pins with a B17L pin
-- 53mm crank pins with a B17 pin
All that is over my head. But check his website.

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.

Kurt Thank you for your
Thank you for your input. It can be a bit like pulling teeth to get all the info one needs to maintain various aspects of our bikes.
I want to get a crankshaft for my R69s, so when I pull it down I can shorten up the time taken to get it all back on the road.
Thanks again.

Why do I see long conrod sets
But I do not see different pistons ( one to suit long and one to suit normal conrod length??
Does anyone know the way of telling which motors have which conrods?
Thanks in advance

crankshaft has arrived today
So finally have decided to rebuild the major bits from the crank up.
New bearings, seals, pistons and what ever else needs to be done so the old girl runs well.

I don't think that is anywhere near outragious in price
Several years ago I had a bike with soft heads (butterheads) and I ordered a brand new pair of R69S heads... beautiful, expensive but I got what I wanted.... they are better metal than the originals, a beautiful casting and perfect.....money well spent.
I am working with a man who is an alcoholic, trying to put his life back together... I think of the money he must have spent to ruin himself, (just because he didn't have a R69S to keep him broke, but busy)... seriously, I think we are so much luckier we all' have a great hobby that keeps our minds and hands busy...(it takes much more than that) this is a fine hobby and I really enjoy working with my friends.
Thank You

Joel We will see how the
We will see how the engine goes when completed, however I am optimistic.
I agree re being lucky to have such a great hobby/passion. I have two R69s bikes - one is just 1001 parts but will go back together over time.
The other is a going concern, but I want to improve the engine so it runs without the clatter and rattles.
