HI Guys, long story short, looks like I've thrown a crank or big end bearing, anyone have a recommendation for a good mechanic in western Melbourne?
Time frame is not terribly critical, a good price is though!
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, had one quote for $2500 for an engine, that's well out of my price range though!

complete bike 99 model went on e bay with 55,000km on it for $3000... Rather pay another $500 and have all the other spares...heard of a guy last week traded his for a new bike and got $2500 with 23,000km on the clock in great condition. Theres always people chasing spares if you want to spend a little more to start I'm sure you'll get your money back ....

Also got a quote for the rebuild $2600 for parts alone!
The crank itself is the major sticking point, $1600 for that.
