Hi,
Doing a rebuild on my 750 GT and when I pulled it apart, I found these con rods in it.
They are a lot like 750 super sport rods, although the webbing and big end to little end taper is ever so slightly different. They are machined, but not polished and have no makers identification on them. Is anyone aware who might be making these? The bike is an Australian bike.

Anyone seen these Aftermarket 750 rods?
They could be Staschel rods.They were made in Germany by a tuner/machinist who was I think endurance racing bevels. I had a set in my 900 until it broke a crankpin[no fault of the maker] and they were almost too pretty to install.Very high quality stuff.The people at Kamna might have info on them.IIRC Staschel died about 20 yrs.ago.
I should have said...
The bottom end and pistons were in real good shape. The liners got a flexihone, new moly rings on the pistons and the crank and assembly went back in the engine accompanied by mostly new bearings. Started first kick, not even a puff of smoke despite some lube down the pots. Now done 160km in the run in stage, and looking and sounding good!
Fingers crossed!!!
