Kawasaki Triples Club

I thought this might be worth mentioning here.
A post by Triple Cranks:

I have some very exciting news! It has been hard keeping this quiet for so long. This has been in the works for quite some time. I am finally happy to announce aftermarket H2 crankshafts are available for purchase!

The company producing these are Vintco. They are slotted rod cranks with the Vintco connecting rods and silver coated big end bearings. The crankshafts are quite a step up in quality from the original. The entire crank is hardened steel. The bearings made by TPI are as close to the quality of Koyo bearings as you can get. The seals are K&S replicas and appear to be of equal quality as well.

The crankshafts are being manufactured in Taiwan to Vintco specifications. There are two versions available. One is built to the same physical specs as the stock Kawasaki crankshaft and the other is a bit more robust with 18 mm pins. The cost of the crankshafts are $1099 and $1199 respectively. I am offering these with free shipping.

Thanks Eric yes i do take pride in my work and its nice to get feedback

thats a hell of a lot of money for a crank !!!

I guess he knows his shit by now !! His work is sweeet. No takers for that H1R Hoeckle crank on the bay for £850 yet

If i wasnt a Poor pensioner I would have already bought it........

add the fact you should have some NOS one in your garage Malc

Got NOS H1R barrels JP but no crank.
I do know where there is a NOS Genuine Kawasaki H1R crank in a dealer :wink:

Poor pensioner didn't think you were drawing a pension yet mate

Drawing my three private pensions Rob :wink:

I'll stick with Gary C, But thanks for info

Yep. Gary knows what he's doing

Just to be clear... I did not make this post to do anything but inform members that new cranks are available. Gary Clarke has a very good reputation and his services would be a lot less expensive than a new crank. This was info only!

Thats not an problem Dale.
Its good to know that new complete cranks are available if you want to go down that road
Must people go down the rebuild route as it a cheaper option to rebuild than buy new
