Tim,
In my opinion.....if you have the bucks go with the Nikasil matched set =
of cylinders, pistons, rings, wrist pin etc...=20
You pay a little more but in the end you get a top end that will never =
give you problems down the road (unless you run the bike without oil =
:-)).=20
Of course, if money is an issue then you do whatever you have to to get =
riding :-)
My thoughts...Ian
