hi folks

seen an advert for a company that does re-bores ect. in dublin, so i asked for a price for the rd 250E. he came back with a price of 225euro, (£200) and that was me supplying the pistons!!!!! the bike was not seized and it only has light scratches due to wear. is this inflation gone mad or what? anybody got a ball park figure of what it normally is? thanks

i live in donegal and it would probably be cheaper to bring them over there myself than take them to dick turpin in dublin. i can remember getting a rebore , piston and rings for an old AR125 (that ate them regulary) for about £25 when i lived in scotland, mind you that was not yestarday. anyway i dont need it just yet as the bike is stripped and the frame is getting fadricated for footrests, single seat ect. thanks for the reply OG. cheers.

There must be other places in Ireland, including the north...surely!

havent looked. as i say the bike is an ongoing (and ongoing) project and i seen this number and tried it for the laugh (which i did). the bike was running fine when i bought it and i only want to do things once hence the rebore.

why don't you just get it honed instead if it is only light scatches?

might do that. do you know if the honing tools in machine mart are any good?

I would say its more down to the operator than the quality of the tool. just don't buy the cheapest of course.

cant you just take it to a general motor engineer? i live 5 mins from piston broke engineering, but the guy is too dear, i take specialist jobs like that to a motor engineering shop the otherside of the city - even cheaper!

That would explain the Beirut comment then!! I live a bit further up the hill.

Steve at Piston broke is good but is always really busy. Almost seems like he puts prices up when he's too busy to put people off.
