to bore it or not to bore?

[howry]

hey guys,
so ive heard there is a way to make those cylinder bays wider. is it worth it or not?
50 a pot, plus 150 each. so around 200 each. total around 500$. so ive heard.

why? it's a 30 year old MC that wasn't that powerful when it was new,enjoy it for what it is, you aren't going to out perform any sport bikes anyway if you're thinking of a roadburner
I could see going with the 750 kit if you were setting up a touring rig, but for a around town bike unless you like spending money for no good reason why bother

Wait, what? $500.00 just to bore 2 cylinders? What am I missing here? That's WAY too much!

Think I got charged about $300 when I had 707 done, it was about twice what they told me it would be because they had to bore it twice, just after I got it done Mikexs brought out their 750 kit which worked out way cheaper, not sure how would compare now they've put the price up though.

Mike's 750 kit is about $650.00 here in the US.

Yeah. I am with PreGrid. If you are even thinking about spending $500 on a bore job, then buy the 750 kit. Will get everything you need and a much better motor when done.
