Just wondering what is the best shop for price and quality to get a 05 crank updated then welded for strength, new bearings also.

also what are the contributing factors to how long the stock crank/crank bearings will last? I would imagine a high comp piston would be bad for it but what else?

it hasn't happen yet but I was just wandering if it ever does about how much cash would I be shelling out for a good job?

thanks

If it hasn't gone by now, it may not go. Change the oil regularly and keep an eye on the filter for shavings.

would a high comp piston reduce life time of the stock set-up

Need more of a motor expert for that question. I've had no problems with a ton of hours of an 11.5:1 in one of my bikes. I have a 13.5:1 in one of my 05s with no issues, but a lot less hours on that bike.
