Rhino, I think that you have missed the point. Firstly, This post is about VHM Crankshafts, not Panthera or Hot Rods and it is obvious that no one on this site is interested in the VHM, so be it! Secondly, I have made no attemp to smear the reputation of anyone, what I have stated is plain fact and ...

No of course there is no need to share anything. the information is so vauge, no information on different strokes and affect on build. heat treatment and or hardening and tempering is no secret either it is or it isnt. based on the non information it is quite possibly made from non heat treated 1045...

The Panthera look like a nice product visually, my concern so far has been lack of detail in the information:
heat Treatment / stress relieving before final grinding, tolerance machining / hardening etc.
I see screws in the sides, I hope that they cannot come out??

I have contacted VHM who produce billet crankshafts used by teams at the highest level of motosport, Motocross and Moto GP I enquired with them about a Custom crankshaft for the CR500, and they will do it but will need to supply the specs, probably easier to send one over to them.

Weld within the groove and then grind the weld flush. No bolt problem anymore...even for a match drille...

Hi Roosty,
Gen 4, 2008 CRF450
AlisoBob mentioned that he had used those mounts on builds over several different generation Frames.
I like them as they have plenty of contact area onto the down tubes...and they look good.

I saw these in AlisoBobs Gen 4 Build Thread, the Shanmans Billet Engine Mounts?
look great and I need some for my build starting soon
I have searched the site and could not find any more info.
I anyone knows where I can find them please let me know.
Cheers

I am getting on a bit and recently had an opportunity to pick up a couple of 1990 CR500's I could not help myself as I raced an 1984 CR500 that i bought new for $2650 I ended up selling that around 5 years later to by a KX60 for the junior. One is in good nick but has a cracked RHS Cluch cover at th...

Awsome,
I want to go there!
