sadly enough,your story is very common.good luck finding used barrels,because getting yours replated will end in tears believe me.it is hardly ever succesful.

best way to go is Ebay UK,theres shedloads over there,those poms love their strokers

I know plenty of people who've had it done and on far more highly stressed bikes than the RGV and with no problems at all

Are you talking RGV specific problems?

There's some info about plating cylinders in there.
