Well, you understand that doing this is high risk and high investment. What we hope to do is re-invest the money from selling these kits into doing a main bearing kit for the GL1000 so that anyone doing one of those engines will then have the ability to renew all the shells. We hope to offer that as a complete crankshaft kit inc. ball bearing and oil seal.

Next will be 1100/1200 con-rods as both those engines use the same shells.

But this could change if, for instance, there is more demand for the 1100/1200 conrods than for the 1000 mains.

Let's make this clear. Anyone buying one of these kits is going to eventually result in helping someone else, as we fully intend re-investing that money back into more needed parts.
