I have a crank as well as two motors in pieces & a partial chassis. I am in the USA though. Shipping is NOT a problem.

Cheers, John

There is a Maico rod that is close in dimension. Looks to be 1 mm longer and 2mm narrower at the bigend. A simple spacer under the barrel will take care of the length and an extra pair of thrust washers will fix the bigend.
PM me if you need any further info.

Thanks for the info.
I had my eye on the new crank for a while. Was pricey, but couldnt find another, so ended up buying it.
I had my old crank with Ray Easson, but even he couldnt find the parts to refurb it.

What about a complete bike for spares? Partly dismantled but pretty much all there & not too other than a broken countershaft. Good for spares or a decent resto project.

The Maico rod option would have been under $500 with the rod supplied, spacer made and crank balanced and assembled.
Just in case you are interested I have 2 new Wiseco pistons to suit the RM465. 1 x 1.5mm over and the other 2mm over, $150 each.
