Default rods...



look at this picture.. its interisting. how the eagle rods are beefy as hell, but their cuts are on the side, and the OEM and crower cuts are on the front. kinda makes me wonder why.

theres more material on the eagle rods, so id say they may be a bit heavier, but more trustworthy by looks. thats interesting.

Eagle has H-beam design while honda and crower use I-beam designs. Not sure which is better though it its said that h-beam is more for FI and i-beam is better for n/a

Perhaps a good read
http://www.theoldone.com/compo....html
"The I beam configuration is slightly better than the H beam when it comes to compression strength. So, under load the I beam can handle slightly more pressure before bending. The H beam rods are stronger in the unloaded cycles and are therefore a better choice for high rpm applications, as they don't easily break on the overlap stroke.
