As a machinist and an ex 2 stroke nut, I'd suggest going down the custom alloy waterjacket and wet liner route(whether its nickelsil, steel/chrome route, etc), as all of the mass produced 2strokes had crap transfer port/water cooling characteristics courtesy of the cast blocks, and they ate piston rings like a barsteward courtesy of the exhaust port, even with webbed ports! You could also try doing a custom billet HE24 piston job with one piece rings and/ptfe/ceramic skirts?? Lovey bike! :)

Well please you're back! Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

[@jimmyloco4000]

[@paulheptonstall52]

Glad your back love the videos

Brilliant I’ll be tuned in 🏍👌

The one down side to living is USA we got none of the great 2 strokes of that era. RZ350 was last decent bike we had that was 2 stroke.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

I am still waiting for a 2 stroke guy with time and money to take a KX500 motor and cram it in a ninja 250 or 300 frame hehe. No inspections in my state if I hade the money I would do it as I could easily get a tag for it. 300lb street bike with 65-70 2 stroke HP, to 100 mph would be faster than most liter 4 strokes. And front tires would last forever LOL dry rot before wearing them out.

Thought we were gonna see some boring. Aren’t those barrels plated already ? So did u strip the plating or can that be bored direct ? Cheers

[@jaysshed4857]

They are already plated but there is no point stripping them first as they have been bored from 56mm to 61mm. The plating is nickel so it machines out ok.
