I've been backed up with everything the last few months. 2strokeforevers cylinder is out at plating and theres work done in it I won't be posting pictures of
. This one is for inventory if guys come looking for one. Its sitting at basically stock porting right now and i'd tailor it to how the guy wants it before sending it to be plated. The surfaces were cut to clean making the cylinder .002" shorter than stock.

After the alu. sleeve is in, is there much of a weight loss?

Do you feel any difference one the bike? I know that motor weight seems to have a big effect.

Not sure, the last one we did I didn't run it back to back. I'll also have them on a short stroke crank that's lighter and 447cc. Should be an excelent combo.

I like the idea of smaller displacement. Still think going more square bore and stroke would make a very good combo.

I had thought of doing that years ago, glad to see you doing it. The one thing I wanted to do was make a sleeve with a bridge intake . A bit more support back there would in my opinion double a pistons useful life.
