Jeff,
Status?
Didja get the plating/repair or another cylinder?
Or has everything been stored for the winter?
By the way, did you get to try Rich's machine with his "new underware" suggestion? Did he show you some ice tires?

Yeah, unfortunately it's away for the winter (funds right now are tight), time to take the sleds out anyways :-D . I'm kinda thinking of sending the cylinder out to Eric Gorr for a big bore kit (since I have to pay to get it fixed anyways). Not sure if this is the right move or not.
I wasn't able to ride Rich's bike, it was raining pretty hard out that day, too bad I was really looking forward to it. The ice tires were nice! Would definitely like to get some of those in the future.
Good:
I'm kinda in your boat. I can BARELY get the front end up in 2nd. Desperately in need of a good rebuild! I crave the power these guys talk about, and I remember... :|

Big bore kit from what has and is being posted on this forum you need to keep a standard bore.
