LMAO I had them same thoughts! Go ahead pull the trigger you won't regret it. Great folks there at Fuel Moto and your lucky enough to be an hour away, I was 900 miles and it didn't stop me. Good luck!

Thanks Jamie and Keith, you guys are the tops. Great service, you give your customers all the answers. Wish all businesses in this country had your work ethic. If they did, this country wouldnt be in the shape it is now. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! I'm thankful I bought all my needed parts from you guys......

Shock load is the biggest consideration, dropping the clutch, holeshots, burnouts, and worn compensators are hardest on the crank.
Thank you "tkunk".

Your right. My bad!! I was thinking of another post. None the less. That crank ain't coming apart. Well, maybe if you really pound the hell out of it, but not likely.

I have my heads and stuff at Fuel right now and I went thru the same thing trying to decide.I am not a big haul *** around all the time type anyways so I finally just went with Jamies warning.If your are going to try and blow it up you can and you can tear up the clutch and the crank if you try.
I like the power there when I ask for it and really dont do burn outs or try and do wheelies.Those days are gone with the crotch rockets where they belong.
I am hoping they have it shipping back this way in a few days..

So on the way to fuel Moto your cylinders got damaged? The extra $299 was your core charge since your cylinders arrived unusable? Is that what happened?

The numbers you are making on this high C/R 107 makes it silly to think about a 120R setup.

Yep, glad I insured them for 1500.00 when I shipped them. Now I have to wait and see if they will reimburst me on my claim.They already have my jugs now they are saying they want a reciept so I am waiting on my stuff from Fuel to arrive since I dont have one.
Talked to Fuel and asked them to send me a bill or statement but that never happened.As a matter of fact I was glad I called back cause I was asked what we were going to do for new ones.I had already asked them to add them to the bill and charge me and I would handle UPS myself.Nothing bad towards Fuel as they did not cause the problem and had a quick turn around.Now as for customer support I will let you know cause I am sure I will have plenty of question.LOL.Sure it will be handled fine..

Not to make light of your problems...but it's best that you paid the extra coin to get QUALITY stuff.

Sometimes, unexpected costs arise....I feel your pain.

But, once it's together and running strong, I think you'll be glad Jamie did you right.
