Anyone have any idea on the process for doing a top end? My XT350 needs a little TLC in that department and I'm not sure what to do- Can I just pull the head and get it bored to the right size for the pistons I can find? Which machine shops do this? How did I get in this nutshell???

I know someone that is real good and can probably save you a few $$$ by doing it at his home. PM me if you want his contact info.
...I spose I should continue to point out Sean @ Metro does this sorta thing on a daily basis and he is a CSC sponsor.
Not to slam any other suggestions, but why bother with the trouble of doing it yourself?? Sean will cut you a deal if you tell him you are a CSC member and I sent you (Dave).

1. Tell Sean you're a CSC member. Get discount. Cheap pricing = good!
2. Tell him Dave sent you, AND get the extra bonus of a reacharound! (Sean gives 'em to Dave all the time, it's an extra perk)
...well, I can't vouch for the reach around but I am sure something could be worked out.
I mean, Ralph keeps going back for more so it must be good!

Oh that's right Dave, you just go there for the gerbils...
Hey Dyscofool- I would recommend you go see Sean at Metro for the reach-around and the gerbil escapades. The friend I was going to refer you to is more into the peanut butter and his rottweiler thing.....
...well, Sean does own a pit-bull.
Does that count?
(although, as Ralph can attest to and Hanna agreed to supervise in future instances, I suggest the "gerbil treatment")

Dyscofool,
If you've got a garage to work in and are interested in learning some "meck-a-neckin" that would be a good bike to learn with, alot simpler than a multi cylinder but still a four stroke so you can learn how to set timing and all that.
You just need a good manual and some patience
Will get a price from this Sean guy. I figure might be able to save a little if we keep it platonic.Loosely translated:...I spose I should continue to point out Sean @ Metro does this sorta thing on a daily basis and he is a CSC sponsor.

(thereal)BigE- I do have a garage but it's cold out and the chick doesn't approve of wrenching in the kitchen. I do all of the work on my Beemer as it is and that's enough to keep up with in the winter- esp when I'm putting 70 miles a day on it. Half of me wants to do it myself and the other half just wants it done- that's the half that usually wins out and then when I do get a chance to do it myself I feel lame for paying for it.
Dakar is on... must go.
