does this motor have the 8mm crank?
Mr.Nitrofreak..this diatribe is not directed at you personally but at the internet uniformed gossip mill.....Your post questioning crank size just touched a nerve with me.It is obvious you have read or heard somewhere that all 7MM Picco 45EXR motors are substandard...nothing could be farther from the truth.
The silverhead disc rotor EXR motors like this one "all" had 7MM cranks.......These series of motors never had a crank problem....in fact the early "Silverhead".45 EXR disc motors were nearly bullet-proof.
Picco released the initial batch of "Blackhead" EXRs with 7MM cranks with evidently a bad radius at the front step.These were the motors that had a crank breakage problem.Piccos answer was to increase the front snout to 8MM to correct the problem and attempt to curtail the bad press on the internet about crank breakage.All this happened about 10 years ago but with the beauty of the internet the questions continue.
