Depends where you are tbh? SEP at Kegworth? PJME? Is it a standardish engine? Going for bigger power then i suppose Farnham is gonna need a call and a chat, but as others have posted, his turnaround is a lot slower due to his workload. All depends on your requirements.
(All the above are in the Midlands btw)

Lockside engineering in castleford if they still do them, had a crank rebuilt on a YZ125 there a few years ago but I supplied the conrod kit. I presume TB's at Morley should be able to get it rebuilt to a good standard?

I can't vouch for the others, but I would not recommend Firefox Keighley. They were a nightmare and full of crap. I used to live on the Isle of Wight. I sent them one of my RS250 cylinders for refurbishment. Instead of admitting they lost it, they sent me back a piece of junk. RS barrels are paired with numbers, this wasn't my barrel. They insisted that they tag all parts and that is what I sent them. I didn't even recognise it. I took it to a top Suzuki dealer who knows RGV's inside out. He said it wasn't Aprilia or Suzuki, but some Chinese copy. After 3 weeks of phone calls and letter writing, I drove up to Keighley and confronted them. Eventually they admitted it and gave me a brand new barrel. Sorry to hi-jack your thread raven13, but use Firefox at your peril.

I speak for experience, you need to find someone who does the work in house and does not farm it out. I believe both FF and Mick dont do the work themselves.
Best to ask the question 1st

I got mine done at Jim Aim Motorcycles,
bought the conrod kit made by long about £35
Jim Aim fitted the kit for £45 only took an hour from drop off, (took crank in only)
2 years later still fine.
