And then you have to pay to have these parts put on a core crank http://www.ebay.com/itm/Suzuki-GT750-CR ... b8&vxp=mtr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Cheap skate is not even throwing in the small end bearings. However, I am betting he sells it.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

If those are Suzuki parts, then that is actually not an unreasonable price. Check around - unless you are getting a trade discount, you will pay more at some dealers. :shock: If someone knows of a place that will sell the same genuine Suzuki items for less - please share the name ! 8)

Your so right Ian , it still looks like a chunk o change priced out like shown to completely freshen up a used crank . Toss in another couple hundred to have the old crank pressed apart and you would have 12~1,400$ just in the crank . :shock:

what drives the price so high is the two service manuals. :lol:

The question is, who would need this complete set. Unless you are rebuilding a bike that spent 20 years sitting at the bottom of a lake. A crank that every bearing was shot, and connecting rods were bent, would not likely be the first candidate for rebuild. I threw the original crank in the trash from my T500, as one side was just too far gone. Picked up another complete motor, which had a much more reasonable candidate for rebuild. Ended up with plenty of spare motor parts out of the deal.
