Cylinder Sleeves

OUCWBOY · April 07, 2006, 09:17:04 PM

Back over a year ago, I had 24 "D" cylinder sleeves reproduced and have since sold them all. I have had a few inquires from folks needing to re-sleeve their cylinders, but I am out. I spoke with the manufacturer today and he can pop out more for me if there is an interest. The cost is less per sleeve if I order 24. If I order only 12 the cost almost doubles. How may of you would be interested in purchasing a sleeve or a sleeve with a std piston as a set?

Not to mention the other greats from Oklahoma: Freddie Nix, Gary Nixon, Mike Lewis, and on the other sports side, Mickey Mantle and Johnny Bench, just to name a few.

Donny:

I would be interested in at least one, maybe two. I will e-mail you this weekend when I check the inventory of my rod kits too.

I will e-mail direct, if ok.

I also, am putting together my shopping list for my Bekshire project.

Talk to you soon....Hope you're feeling well..I'm beginning to improve also.

Thanks.

I think there are some of the Rod Kits that Marc Biro had done still floating around somewhere. Might send Marc an e-mail.

I E mailed you direct, but from the looks of this post, there is definately a market for motor parts in general. And as long as people are building motors and more bikes are being rebuilt the market should be there. Not a get rich, quick plan but a steady one.

Well, so far I have 8 sleeves spoken for. Anyone else?? I would like to have at least 12 taken before I order.

Ric,
Yes, Just match up the ports and you'd be close to the Famous GS Pro porting.
Got a call back today from the sleeve maker and am sad to say that the price has increased a ton, plus was told they are behind over 12 weeks. I am now looking for another source to make these up. I do have the master, so that's not a problem.

Donny,
Keep us informed. Also, I don't know if ARHMA is ever going to understand that some people would like to have a 100 class?? You might ask how many sleeves you could sell for the 100cc Sachs. I probably have some specs that I would be happy to share if you ever feel there is enough interest. Any interest out there???
