I have taken the Manxman...sorry, 650 SS...motor apart. All looks good except the crank journals need to be turned. Question now ...for the average rider...is it worthwhile to replace original rods with commando rods? I've heard they are stronger. Both are available to me at no extra cost. The crank will be balanced to 64% afterwards.
Also, can you recommend anything else to improve the motor? Original cam looks very good. Anything in the head besides bronze guides and modern valves? I would love to use the JS rods and pistons but it is not my motor or my money.
