Big Bore Kit price these days? (720 cylinder & piston)
Well its been quite a few years since they've came out, multiple companies making them, has the price come down any yet? Always wanted one, but never wanted to fork out the kind of dough they cost when they first came out, hoping now that the R&D has been recouped maybe they're cheaper?
I'm talking aftermarket aluminum cylinders with nikasil, not the sleeved ones...

Consensus still seems to be to stick with the HPR 730, 770, 800, 855, etc. The 720 pops up on ebay all the time so they must sell but the proven route seems to be the best one to take. Size options, along with price, have gone up considerably.
There is an HPR 855, or maybe just the 800, for sale over at NoMercyRacing.
Up the Irons!

Yes indeed the Pami cylinders and the cylinder MrHP has made are both great cylinders. I was hoping that after all this time the prices would be coming down, well over a grand for cylinder and piston. I guess demand never really climbed high enough to make it happen. DS enthusiasts just not hot enough comodity I reckon.
Stroker cranks direct from Falicon are quite a bit cheaper than cylinder/piston kits, under a grand.
I'm thinking of going back to pump petro for the sake of convenince, especially on long hauls where gassing up at stations along the way are an option, but do not wanna sacrifice performance and take a step backwards from what I've gained over the years, thinking either a big cylinder at 720/730cc or just stroking it with stock bore but I've never ridden a DS with stock bore stroked to a 6 ninety something. Not really looking to win races here, just wanna keep the torque I already have been enjoying for so long if I was to step back to pump gas. The power I have I really need, its required to get this Hightower up the big dunes and mountains, not racing just getting from A to B in style with a smile if you know what I mean.
