Wayfast1500:
I just ordered a new piston for my 2000 250, only $600.00 top end I've ever done.  Last season even with a new wiseco piston the comp guage only showed 150 psi with the throttle wide open.  My cylinder was egg shaped and since I would have to helicoil a bunch of holes I went with a new jug, and pro-x piston.  I still have to get some swingarm Link bearings, front MC rebuild kit and get a radiator straightened.  What kind of wrenching have you guys been doing to your bikes? 

Coop:
I haven't been doing much. Waiting for fork seals for beemer F650GS. I pretty much have everything up to date right now on the dirtbikes.

Caddy 16v:
I'm rebuilding a 91 kx250 got the cylinder bored because it was rusted from the previous owner letting it sit outside disassembled for over a year! Also the bottom end needs all new bearings and the crank needs to be rebuilt, a total mess, already cost me $500 cad for the cylinder work and a new piston :-( hope I can get the bearings fairly cheap somewhere.
The good thing really is that I got it all for free, will be a huge learning experience :-D

That looks like a good project caddy, Ive got a '84 PE 175 I need to squeeze in between projects too.
