    I need to have my 1985 EVO cylinders bored. After tearing down the motor I discovered a few deep scratches. I am having a problem finding anyone interested in helping me with this old bagger. How far can I bore stock cylinders before having to pay up for a big bore kit?

    If you need a set of cylinders done down south in palm beach County red racing.but it wont be as good as kirbys finish. They will be round and true but not as nice a finish. Kirby does my cylinders. And the ring seal is spot on when im done. I can build it for ya .
