ham2 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 It may be too far away but try: Armstrong (engineering) at the bottom of Westgate Road, Newcastle where all the bike shops are situated. It was a while ago but they did a very good job for me on a Suzuki trail bike. The irony was that I worked at British Engines Limited at the time and my college lecturer asked me to do him a favour (guvvy job) by getting his Yamaha bored out in my machine shop....they made such an ar5e of it that when I needed my bike doing I paid 'punters rates' and went to Armstrongs.

peterb Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi Ian, If it were me, I'd take it round to White Brothers in Darlington and Al the spanner to bore it, he does a proper job. They can't be too far away from you. If you don't know what clearence you want, Al would probably have a very good idea. Top place. Ta ta, PeterB.

perce Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 As good as doing stuff as he is Al would have to work miracles to do this job as he hasn't got the kit to do it in his broom cupboard at Whites, the job would be sent out. I'm sure IKB already knows this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikb Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm sending it to Birketts, I just like the idea of an ex works Montesa (even a 200 !!!) rider doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
