JP Cycle in Lisbon is supposed to be good. My buddy had them do quite a bit of work on his Yamaha. Their prices are dirt cheap as well. There is also a guy around the corner from my house that does engine work out of his garage. He's supposed to be good but right now he's swamped with work.
I'm still not sure about boring it though... I'd really like trust my own measuring and skills and just hone it and put in a new piston and rings........ but then again a mess up on my part because I don't have "state of the art" equipment would really suck...
Give it a shot. At least then you'll know for next time. I'm going to hone the cylinders myself on my CB360. All you need is a drill, hone, and some WD40.
Oh no, I have no problems honing a cylinder I've done that before.... I just am not 100% on the cylinder as far as if it has an oval/irregular/shape that I didn't find with calipers and a piston and feeler gauge...
My thought is it would TOTALLY SUCK to rebuild the motor and then find out that something is wrong, and have ordered a 170dollar piston that no longer does me anygood because I need an upbore. That is what I'm unsure about...
But I really think I could get away just fine with the stock bore with just a hone.... I mean I had the motor running before and even rode it around the yard... though smokey it was.
Upboring I'm sure would be the smart thing to do....
ha, I actually entered in four bikes! lol... the other two are sitting... I decided the best way for me to do it would be to build two at a time.....
And thanks for the compliment man, I am putting my heart and soul into this stuff... hoping someday I can make a living out of it somehow someway...
Great to see you making headway with the motor and it looks fantastic painted up in fact the whole bike is looking really good, can't wait to see the finished project mate
I will be running the 6volt lighting system the bike has in the stator and converting it to 12volts... and maybe doing a little supermoto battery pack kind of thing... not sure yet on that.
