Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in Dragonman's $695 lower end rebuild service?

Dragonman's $695 lower end rebuild service includes a fully assembled lower end, balanced flywheels, a rebuilt rod set with 54-turn and roller bearings, pin and shaft bearings, rod races, and a three-hole crank pin, all meticulously put together.

Why is it important to rebuild a motorcycle's lower end?

Rebuilding a motorcycle's lower end is crucial to prevent catastrophic engine failure. Worn connecting rods can break, puncturing the engine case and locking up the motor, which is extremely dangerous at high speeds and can lead to severe accidents.

How much metal is removed when shaving flywheels, and what is the benefit?

Shaving flywheels can remove up to 9/16 of an inch of metal, approximately 3 pounds. This modification results in faster throttle response, allowing the engine to rev up much quicker, similar to a stroker motor.

How should customers ship their motorcycle parts for rebuilding?

Customers should ship their parts via UPS or FedEx to Dragonman's address at 1200 Dragonman Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80929. It's essential to include a note with the return address, telephone number, and specific instructions for the work to be done.
