    I'm new here, but not new to bikes, Kirby will steer you right, I've had work done by him, as well as other people I know, he's top notch, and stands behind his work.

    Just a bit of advice, the comp nut is put on with red loctite and a lot of TQ
    best to take it off before you tear it down where you can lock the primary chain
    and with the valve train in and cylinders on makes it easier.

    what do you think about using a ball hone to deglaze the cylinders with out the tools to hold the cylinders square , sense I'm not boring it and there's not really any pressure do you think it would be fine

    Mine were done that way with a ball hone and they came out fine. The hone won't get deep scratches out. If you have any, a rebore is better.
