RE: 98" Bore
Are the cylinders that you are referring the ones that use a Nikasil plating job on the cylinder walls and do not actually have a conventional cylinder sleeve? If so, there a number of members that are using those types of cylinders. I think that GMR Performance and Headquarters both offer the Revolution cylinders with Nikasil plating. This is not new technology; some of the car manufactures have used it or worked with it for quite sometime. I do not know about the durability but I would also be interested in hearing more about it. My bikes warranty is up in the spring of next year and I will definitely build the motor at that time. Maybe some of the more knowledgeable will ring in on this thread.

Ive got Steves (GMR) 107 kit and i have 2400 miles so far. I am very pleased with the results, although i havent had it dynoed yet. Numbers are not that important to me but seat of the pants results are great. I was real happy to go to be able to go to his shop and have him do the work. I reckon in the next couple of weeks i will have it tuned and will be able to provide numbers.
