I have a '97 KX250 that has nikasil plated cylinder that is ready for a replate. I know that guys used to send their cylinders to US, Oz and UK ... but heard today that someone is doing the plating here in NZ .... anyone know who's offering this service? Many thanks Paul

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but don't HPC do them?

Te Puke Farm and Trail advertise 'Electrosil' cylinder recoating service. They claim to be "the cylinder coating experts". 18 day turnround claimed. I am unsure if they do it themselves, or send it overseas and are just agents.

No they don't unless they are agent for someone, and with my experience with HPC it would take months to get them anyway

Yep found the old threads. Useful stuff. USChrome seem like a safe bet at US$165-200 but shipping will add another US$40 to that ... would have been good to keep the business in NZ if someone was actually doing it here. Brent at Spectrum Motorcycles was telling me it was being done now but was unsure who was doing it.

I'm sad to say I have a lot of experience getting this done. Forget the aussies, the UK mob (wales) are by far the best, I got dicked somthing chronic by the others.
Robert Taylor from Hawera Motorcycles is one of the UK agents.

Hi NZ Cylinders in Ashburton New Zealand do the repairs and replating of Nikasil (TM), Chrome or electrofusion (TM) cylinder bores. Type NZ Cylinders on google and you will find them.
