What kind of Mods?
I had a 420 big bore modded out pretty far and never hurt the crank, but I think I was lucky. My buddy who still has a big bore banshee just shattered a crank, but it was the original one from 1989.
Would I tear it down and have it welded up? No.. not unless I was going modded to the extreme.
Worse comes to worse you can buy a new wiseco hot rods crank for less than $400 and then another $100 or so in welding and rebalancing. But unless you're thinking big bore I doubt you ever spin a crank..
Just my $.02

the only mods i have planned right now are a cool head of some sort (either trinity or pro-design) so I can change switch the domes for race gas or pump gas depending on riding, a set of paul turner low-mid pipes, and have it bored as needed, that is all i have planned for at least the first two or three years i have it

Yea, My friend has some Paul turners on his Shee and he was getting beat most of the time, not just by me, but lots of people. I have also raced a few with these pipes and they just dont run as well as they should for the price. If you look at the pipes as they leave the cylinder, you can see they are very narrow, almost as narrow as the stock pipes. On Toomies, FMF's and others, they are almost twice the size as stock... I would really wait on the Paul turners. I know the chrome looks awesome and stays in great shape, but chrome dont get you home!
