We do complete motorcycle servicing. Tune-ups, valve jobs, engine rebuilds, and brake jobs. Of course, we do race engine work.We can increase the cc's of your engine to your application.BackgroundI have been repairing & racing motorcycles for over 25 years. I started out NHRA drag racing an 844 Suzuki in 1976. I joined the AMA in 1980 & started dirt tracking, then TT racing in 1981. I was the president of Smoke & Roar Racing Club & we operated White Wolf Raceway. In 1995 I went to roadrace school at Willow Springs under instructor Dave Roper. I am currently an AHRMA member. I have been roadracing my 1971 Honda SL350 in the AHRMA 350 Sportsman class since 1995. At the end of the 2001 season, I finished 2nd place in National points.I love to slide around a dirt track on my 1959 Triumph T100C.Approximate Costs for a Honda 350 engine rebuild?That's an open-ended question. But here goes anyway... Labor for complete teardown, inspection & assembly would cost $350.--.- 3 angle valve job $120.-- : with port clean & match $250.-- : Full Race Port $350.--- new pistons, OEM with bore $175.--- rings only, with hone $70.--- cam chain $35.--- new clutch $55.--- gasket set $40.--- mill head $30.--- exhaust system $125-$350.--What options would you suggest to open up its performance a little-not for racing. For a good running street bike, I recommend a fresh motor - good valve job - mild port - 30-32mm Mikuni carbs, exhaust system.Would you be able to fit the slipper style cam chain control system?Slipper-style cam chain control system totally unnecessary on street motor. The most important reason for cam chain slipper and roller wear is improper chain alignment or old OEM guides and rollers. We have fresh rollers and guides and know how to shim the cam in properly.We have a NEW 5mm Valve Kit Available for Honda 350'sThis Includes :Spring Kit, Titanium RetainersGuides with seal kitStainless or Titanium valves (standard or 1mm-2mm over)Lash CapsFor further information or any questions E-MAIL Gary.We work on street bikes, roadracers, and dirt trackers.

Our hearts, thoughts & prayers go out to everyone affectedby this national tragedy. God Bless America.  Remarks by President George W. BushThe PentagonSeptember 11, 2002One year ago, men and women and children were killed here because they were Americans, and because this place is a symbol to the world of our country's might and resolve. Today, we remember each life. We rededicate this proud symbol. And we renew our commitment to win the war that began here. The terrorists chose this target hoping to demoralize our country. They failed...September 30, 2004, First Presidential DebatePresident Bush detailed a path forward in the War on Terror - a plan that will ensure that America fights the enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan - not in America's cities.John Kerry failed the one test he had to pass last night: he failed to close the credibility gap he has with the American people as his record of troubling contradiction and vacillation spiraled down to incoherence.People have a clear choice between President Bush's clarity and strength to fight and win the War on Terror and John Kerry's attacks and reversals - born out of political calculation, not a vision for winning the War on Terror. People saw for themselves last night where John Kerry would lead our military, our allies and the world in the War on Terror - down a bumpy road paved with indecision, vacillation and cynicism. John Kerry has a record of wavering in the face of real challenges.Truth and optimism are not competing ideals. The War on Terror is difficult - there will be good days and bad days, but the war is essential to our safety at home and victory is the only option.Just For Fun...
