They were good. I took the cylinder to my shop, and they mic'd it and it was well within tolerance.I replaced the piston and rings and bearing though just for good measure. The bike ran supprisingly well except for not idling!

YUP! my '86 motor is wicked, MFDB couldn't start it and Daniel Ryan fouled my plug twice trying to start it. It took James a few minutes, but he did it! Then I had to really give Daniel and Justin a hard time!
