I'm currently in the process of rebuilding an 03 banshee that I bought from a young boy that destroyed the motor....it's turnign out great. So I buy another used bottom end on ebay, little did I know it came out of an 87-88 bike, but it was rebuilt with a hot rods crank, so I put it in. The more I started thinking about it I just decided to call up Kevin at HJR and order a 4 mil crank, dune/play port, NOSS head w/domes, pancake bearing, modded shift star....gonna pair it with 33 or 34 carbs and sell my Trinity 2 into 1 setup ( I refuse to use Trinity products!!!). I thought I could use my old 03 cases off of the destroyed motor since it wasted a cylinder and bent a rod. Well, I was wrong I believe. I was looking at where the crank bearings sit on the outer edges and it looks like it broke off some of the metal around where the retaining clips sit on the bottom case. Is this safe to clean up and reuse or do I have to suck it up and buy a pair of cases? I just dont want to be wasting money on the new stuff I just bought. Buy the way I'm sure the 87/88 bottom end will be for sale and so will the Trinity 2 into 1 intake/ 35mm carb/ filter setup if anyone is interested. Please let me know what you would do.....just clean it up around some of the broken edges that retain the clips/ let the bearing rest on or hunt down new cases? Thanks!!!
