You could check out
www.aperacing.com
to see what they can do for you. Lots of machine shops could do it but I would try to find one that does motorcycle work on a regular business. Anybody else have any ideas?

Costs $110 for ape to bore block and press in sleeves. Sleeves are about $60-80 a piece, and then maybe $150 to bore and hone to match piston size. Gets expensive real fast. I decided to go 1170cc with my build so i could use some gpz1100 sleeves i have to drop the cost a bit. WIll be using a J head.
As for where to get it done, there is always APE www.aperaceparts.com
Many local shops should be able to bore and hone the sleeves for you.
Last year i think it cost $120 for a local machine shop to bore the cylinders for my 810.

i see you have a J head. you should consider going the same rout as Jordan.The j pistons would matchup to your head better than the KZ's. with KZ's u will loose 2 points of compression ratio. Email J and ask about the best option.

If you have a J head, we would use J pistons and provide a .040" spacer.
