Andy,
more miles may be just the ticket. I am told that the Nikasil cylinders are
much harder than the chrome and take longer to "seat" or wear in. When you
ride it around why don't you come up to my house. We could ram around in
the city and cause general trouble while you break in your cylinders! Bob

Andy,
Holy smokes! Wait a second. Did you get a Nikasil kit or just the
cylinders? I remember that Nikasil were set up not to hone. I was told
pistons should be matched to cylinders. Also, tell me to shut up if you
know this but I assembled my Nik kit with assembly lube, no other
lubricants. Just my opinion here. Bob Hawkes
