SIL Crank with Jap bearing - Scooter Restorations

Anyone have any opinions on these cranks?
Mate is doing a rebuild on a SIL 200 motor, standard top end with a JL and a 30mm Dellorto and it seems like a reasonable crank to use.
Cheers
John

I put one in a mate's mild tune 175 when we rebuilt it before Euro Lambretta Ireland (replacing the standard SIL one with a dull grey/blued big end bearing that was just about to go!) and it has been fine. The bike has done, Ireland, Belgium, Avignon and normal use without any issues.
For a standard/mild tune motor I think that they are a pretty good option. The rods are not pretty but they seem to work OK with the uprated bearing.
