real builders do this all the time

Few guys were upgrading the wang cranks. I'm pretty sure Andy @ No Limit Powersports and Kevin @ HJR have done quite a few. Really any one capable of rebuilding a crank can handle it for ya.

for me the problem with a 10 mil is the above the pin material, theres not enough there, the forgings of all these Banshee cranks can only take so much press then they crack, remember I said stock forged webs, if theres not enough press the crank spreads or runs out of phase, in my opinion the web needs to be 8-10mm bigger in dia. and the case trenched across the whole web area which would not be to hard to do, some may remember back in the 70's Yamaha use to put rings around the YZ250's outer webs but they were aluminum, now to take a hardened steel ring that has a .003 interference fit and is 4-5mm thick and put that around a 10mil crank is the only way I would consider using forged webs, just my .02

the rings were not for reinforcement..

 

my fordged 10 mill from TDR ( yes the 8-900 buck one) and pretty much any hotrods 100mm's  i have seen have never had a problem.
