Alright so I drew it out like did the reactions and everything then I realized I need to include the diameter of the beam. How do I find the max bending stress while using the diameter of the beam? All I need to know is what exactly I do differently compared to drawing the bending moment diagrams with that 2 and 1/2 inch diameter.

Without including I got R1 to be 50 and R2 to be 650..
 
Reactions look good. The diameter comes into play when calculating max stress at point of max moment. Why would the moments be different if the shaft was of a different diameter? Do you know how to calculate bending stresses?
