OH... so valves aren't 'meant' to hit the piston!

Post by Needlesvii »

Yup, my bike has officially lunched itself! :smt013

So I am in need of a good company that do reconditioned engines for 400H's (or maybe one of you lovely people have one) either way it can't be too expensive, neither can it be dirt cheap.
I like my 4 so wanna bless it with a fairly nice engine. I think it deserves it.

If you could just throw some help my way, i'd really really appreciate it.

Ta all, Rich

Hey buddy, this sounds good. Isle of Mann eh? What do you want for postage and how quickly could you get it to me?

Thanks,

Rich
