Crankcase Boring

Hi all. Can anyone recommend a company/individual in the Greater Manchester area who can bore my stock top c/case and block to accept larger liners . Cheers Greg "H".

The guy I use (Burton Engineering) would probably do it. Not in Greater Manchester though, he's in Thornton-Cleveleys near Blackpool. Probably no help to you, but it is driveable.
Current bikes:
TriBsa CCM 350 Twin
Honda CB350F in Candy Bacchus Olive
Honda CB750F2 in Candy Apple Red
Yamaha MT07 (2026) in Black
Triumph T100C
Suzuki GS1000HC
Honda CB450K0 Black Bomber
Honda CB750K5 in Planet Blue Metallic

If you can post a photo of what you want doing, I can call in to Burtons and see if he will do it for you and a rough price. Its only about 1/2 mile from my house so its no problem.

Have you already had the cylinders done? Usually get the man who fits and bores the big liners to do it

I spoke to the guy today and he says that he can do it . However, he doesn't work weekends ( he works 8 till 5 weekdays only) which is a problem, as there is no way I can get there during the week :(. I'll have wait till the bits come through and then take a day off  :).
