116 rod gp crank

am building an engine that requires a gp crank with a 116 rod, i see plenty of cheap SIL cranks on ebay, my question is how feasable is building my own race crank? do the webs need machining for big end shims and any suggestions for con rods, ive got a tame engineer with a press btw

Re: Super reliable long distance euro tourer

did Davos on a standard TV175, apart from a cyclone box, which really opened the possibility of adding daily mileage without going down the horsepower route or significantly changing the characteristics of the scooter, mechanically, or visually.
