Good machine shop (cylinder boring) in Milwaukee area?
I'm doing a 95" build on my RK this winter and I'm compiling options. I read a few excellent tech articles at NRHS website, and they make a very big deal about the use of torque plates and their boring service in particular. It's a compelling argument and very well written stuff, but the price is pretty frickin high. I have a local machine shop that I have used in the past, but only for maintenance overbores and stuff on low budget restos. I want this done right. Anyone out there have someone they have used in the past and highly recommend? I'd prefer in the SE Wisconsin area, but have no problem shipping. Alternatively, should I just ship the cycls and pistons to NRHS and be done with it?

Can't help you with a machine shop in the Milwaukee area, but I'm considering a 107 build ( this guy offers both ) and from what I've found so far this might be a viable option. Hope this helps \

Since we're in the subject and the heavy hitters are weighing in, what do you guys think of this set up for an '01 RK. Mostly city/hwy mix, 2 2,000+ mile trips per year. 90% solo rider.
Wiseco 3.875" 9:1 flat top pistons
Cometic .030 HG
Andrews 26 or Crane 300 cams.
It seems like a lot of the "kits" or services I see out there are running more comp than this. I'm not interested in comp releases or worrying about detonation. Stick the what I have planned, or are the kits that are closer to 10:1 fine for my needs? Anything else? Something different altogether?
I'm going to start buying stuff in the next month or so and I want to be set on what I need.

We've built quite a few 98"/26 cam/Stage I Head combo's for folks.
9.6 cr is where you want the compression for that 26.
Smacks great torque off the bottom, but won't we a big hp build, but that said, a ton of reliable fun/power in the rpm band where a lot of people spend most of their time in.
