The stock rotor does pull the crank wheels apart on the ignition side. Luckily, the crank wheels don't twist out of alignment at the same time, for some wierd reason. You need to check the crank every year or two and press it back in if required.

Thanks for that Lech, I'll certainly keep an eye on it. Fingers crossed that's the only thing I have to worry about and do to the crank once a year, although I'm not holding my breath.

Weld the crank.

You'll want air cooled rods as they come with pins, the LC rods don't normally as they are part of the centers.
I'm running the same in my LC350 race bike, I also use electrix world ignition in it for three rounds so far and so far so good.
