Yes, I was told by Curtis not to mess with it.... LOL!!!
I would be biting my nails if I kept my stock rod in after an upgrade like that..... But thats just me. I am a worrying type of person all ready and dont need to add that to the list [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I worry also, and if my rod went, I would be sick to my stomach due to the fact that I would be paying for a bike that is basically useless and sitting in my garage. I guess $400 is rather cheap insurance though. Anybody know where to get the cheapest rod?

OK guys...dug through my old email and found something. The story goes I was looking for an 02 bottom end in good shape too keep from having too mess with my 01 tranny again. This is a response I recieved after sending out a ton of emails looking for one. I know NOTHING about this business. Take this email as you will and don't blame the person providing the info (me) if something goes wrong.

I called the shop and they said a completed job (carillo rod and labor to balance) would run me $325 and the labor alone would be $105. Not a bad price. He said that he mostly does the 400ex, but has done raptors also. He is in North Carolina.
When adding the rod to the crank, is it actually welded to the crank or how does that work to get it balanced. This guy recommended getting the rod welded to the crank.
