NO!!!!!!! Most AUTOMOTIVE shops with the newest most advanced equipment charge $25.00 to $35.00 a hole to bore a cylinder. The small engine shops, speed shops, and motorcycle shops that have old wore out equipment are the ones that charge those outrages prices like you were quoted. My local Carquest has a state of the art machine shop with the equipment to bore down to 1 3/4 inch. They charge $25.00 a hole to bore a cylinder and $25.00 a hole to do a valve job. They also measure the heads for warpage and if they need shaved the cost is $35.00. Also most of the time my parts are done the next day. They come back perfectly clean and ready to bolt on. I could tell you horror stories about taking parts to motorcycle shops for machine work.

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"
