DR750/800 owners and those interested

[JATZ]

Or it is already an 800?

Ahhhh...... NO.

The regrind people said "yeah mate we can re-sleeve that, no worries" so I got a standard piston.
Took the piston and bore to them 2 weeks ago and went in friday to see how it was getting on........
them..... "nah mate we're not happy about re-sleeving that, can you get an oversize piston ?"
me..."Ummmmm yeah, so this $600 + piston is now an ashtray ?"
them ...."yip"
me.... "ah well, people pay more for art which just sits about and does nothing I suppose"

[dino3310]

i wont be needing one for another 50,000klms(fingers crossed), neil might be keen hes hit the 100,000 mark. sooner or later one of us will buy it, i got no cash and to many other things needed first but if youve still got it in a year or so i'll grab it.
Put it on terdme some other DRBIGs might come out of the woodwork.

Why can't they resleeve it?? Is the liner cast into the barrel ? that can be difficult
seems odd to me
have you tried someone else?

Yes, the liner's cast into the barrel, if they bore it out the wall will be toooo thin and could lead to other problems.
I have the details of people in Christchurch who MAY be able to do something with it BUT they may take a look and decide they can't do it either.and goddamn it I want to ride a bigger Big, oversize it is

I wondered that, the problem is the liner is not smooth on the outside but is sorta finned and it is best to bore all the cast iron completely away. I have resleeved a few and left the cast iron bits in their and never had problems but I don't really recommend it.

Yep no issue's on the tar it's holds on real well, I can scrape the foot pegs and on a DR thats something to write home about

[dino3310]

i get close to the pegs but i run out of rubber on the front, got a trailwing on there and its a miss match for the E-09 rear.still got 10-20mm of chicken on the rear

[junkmanjoe]

when i got home all the little sticky out pieces of rubber were gone from the new front E-09.....even the ones on the very outer edge....
