quick crank question

Thinking about diving head first into the cvo world, Do the 103 bikes have the same crank problems shared with the 96 inch bikes? have searched but cant find a answer anywhere, thanks chad.

Yup same problems and same solutions apply to them as well. 103 CVO's run really well when woken up and the problem areas are covered.

No. That is a heavier crank, it is the preferred one for a dealer build.

Here is a pic of a CVO "cold forged" crank. I have several customers CVO's i have worked on over the years. Most of the cranks have been fine. 2 did need repair though....Darkhorse fixed 'em up.
