hey guys, My 84 250r had a 300 big bore kit on it when I got it. So I checked around, one of the guys on here suggested a guy on ebay to buy the piston from $135.00, and it had on the site that he would deck the head for $65.00. So a couple of days ago he sent me an e-mail wanting me to call him. He seems like a cool guy. told me my cylinder would be on it's last bore, but the problem was that it had a couple of cracks in it on the lower sleeve. I ask him how much to do the machine work, decking and new sleeve to put it back to standard bore. (L.A. Sleeve) He told me $300.00 bucks. That is besides the 135.00 for the piston that I bought from him. I'm just wondering if this seems high. I bought the 250r with big bore kit and west coast swingarm, for $300.00 Thanks Joe
