G80cs short stroke conrod

Post by john keay »

I have a G80cs up and running using a standard 500 long stroke conrod with spacers under the barrel. I am asking can anyone help with detail drawings of the short stroke conrod? With a set of drawings and details.I can have an engineer friend with CNC manufacture them. Maybe there are other people with the same need. If there is anyone with ideas I would be very grateful. I would like to get my bike as close as possible back to original I am a very new member and amazed at the number of "HELPS" offered by being a member.Thanks.

It would be quicker & cheaper to purchase a rod from Carillo in Los Angeles. They make them for singles & twins. Cheers, Don.
