It is possible that the chap has seen Astrax's posts on the stuff he mills on his CNC machine and drawn the wrong conclusion. Seems like a huge coincidence otherwise.

Alan H has just given me a shout, not sure if Patrick has been on my website and seen the photos of my crank and assumed I had made it, rather than it being the modifications Chris Applebee had done, easy mistake if English is not your first language

But would like to welcome Patrick to the forum, have you had your GT750 for long ?

The modifications have removed about 1kg of weight, but not sure if I would have it done again as quite expensive, it is difficult to know if there is any acceleration advantages, just know my bike runs well, but may not be any better than normal crank ?
Contact me if you want any information.


Thanks
Ian

I had a good idea that Patrick was a genuine biker. He thought that Astrax had manufactured the crank hence his enquiry. Didn’t think he was a spammer which is why I approved the post.

Hope he comes back after the negative comments.

Welcome to the forum Patrick

Have to say having lived on France until recently and was a member of a French GT forum they always treated me with the utmost respect. They even tolerated my poor french I have sent him a PM to find out what he wants.
