Indian crank webs are meant to be very good, its the bearings and conrod that are poor. Madspeed use indian webs on his tuned ts1's. Ive been told AF race rods fit as do Rd 400, in fact any rod with 22mm big end can be fettled to fit. Been told its the width of the big end that may have to be machines down or webs need machining to allow for new width.

Add that to the amount of AF cranks that have twisted and it's starting to nullify the argument for 'you get what you pay for'.
