Post by MelburnGT550 »

Hi all,

Looking for a lhs nikasil cylinder for a 76 model Gt550. Bore condition doesnt matter.

Many thanks.

Well the one on my bike now has a massive groove down the bore from a broken ring, so I'm in need of a good condition one. Are you planning to get one re-plated ?

I've got some spares - for both of you if required, but the postage will be a killer to Oz.
I'll make inquiries if you like though.

Hi Alan. Thanks and yes I'm definitely going to need a serviceable LH barrel. Engine is now out so next thing is for me to speak to Baz and see if he will rebuild my engine. I expect I will need pistons, rings , etc. If you could put a LH barrel aside that would be great thanks.

I'm not fussed if its grooved or not as I'm going to get them all replated.

I've got family in Somerset Alan, so happy to go either way (to Oz or local in the UK), I will send you a PM.

Thanks all.
