Thanks for your interest Travis. This video shows an assembled KR flywheel assembly. The crankpin has tapered ends that seat in the flywheels and nuts to hold everything together. The pressed and plugged style came out with the alloy XR750 in 1972. Nothing is welded here. The link to a forum thread in my description shows more details.
@@1973JHE I'll have to check it out! I came across your video in a Google search "how to true an HD flywheel/crank assembly... As I'm still not sure if I'm going to rebuild the stock one out of my 103 or just buy an S&S , I'm a welder, employed in a machine shop so wanted to know how hard and or time consuming it would be to do it when I clock out... I will be looking at your work site it's just as entertaining for me as it is informative. Thanks again ✌
I did balance the flywheels and it is covered at the Home Shop Machinist forum link that I have in my original description above starting at posting #107. The photos don't show up unless you are a member of the forum, but it is free to join.
@@1973JHE u do the work yourself? I’m looking for some to redo my crankshaft one shop said $500 for just truing and no need to balance but that’s hard to believe
Thanks Liam. I don't have any special video plans. I have been posting these to help explain things I discuss at the Home Shop Machinist Forum and the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) in the clock construction forum here: mb.nawcc.org/threads/owner-built-precision-regulator.74057/
That is the best set of con rod polish I've ever seen in 65yrs. Beautiful

Rods are stunning!
Marvelous work, would not have expected anything less.
You actually need to tell people how to true the flywheels thank you
I don't get much chance to get here as of yet, but I hope to sometime this year (2022). Thanks to all for the interest and compliments!
Beautiful!

Thanks for the video! Is this just pressed and plugged , or welded as well?
