Holeshot racing up in washington does good work, but they are very....very....very slow, I have heard there customer service sucks, the guy who owned my first gen t 3 had it done by mpracing, but he is closing his doors. Another place by me, redline racing I belive there up in washington, does a great job a lot of banshee guys have there stuff done there. I havnt heard many complaints about them from my local forums, . Madman engeenering seems like it would be a good bet, Ive read a little on there site, I havn't had any experince with them so officaly I couldnt say.

I just don't want some mad scientist working on a cylinder they've never worked on before. Nobody is experimenting on my parts. lol I'd do CT Racing but they suck on customer service too.

BGM, I was thinkin of sending my CR500 cylinder to CT Racing, but you were not happy with them? Seems like I remember their turn around time being horrible for you from what I remember.

Theres nothing wrong with their work its just it takes so damn long to get any work done and sent back to you. Was almost a complete year waiting for them to sleeve two Tecate cylinders for me. Never again will I send them parts.

Your best bet is to get in touch with either Corey Sprock (Magoo) or KingOfKawies over at Kawie Riders dot com. They work with each other and do a lot of Tecate stuff, plus they also have big-bore kits and coolheads for your T3. I hope that helps you.

I didn't think Klemm did anything but watercraft stuff anymore? That'd be sweet if they'll still do a trike cylinder. Please let us know what they say BigGreenMachine.

I talked to them a couple of years ago and they were still porting cylinders and cutting heads to your specification on any ORV.
