Yeah baby!
« on: June 30, 2007, 02:37:35 AM »
After two seasons of dune riding, I wore out the cylinder on my K5.  After looking at around $500 for a new one, then factoring in the cost of port work, I was looking at another 3-5 hundred on top of that.  So I send my cylinder to millenium technologies for a replate.  Two weeks and $175 later, my cylinder showed up at my door yesterday.  I looks great!  With some more grinding in the ports, I'll be back in business. I can't wait! :mrgreen:

Playing phone tag like teenage girls...  So you doing a re-port on that jug? 

My back is a bit better,  not as bad as I thought it was going to be...  St. Anthony again this August?  Man, I don't think I am going to be strong enough to ride as fast as we should up there!  :cry:  Going to have to play it by ear.  How many are going and what rig?

I was hoping to get back to work this Wednesday, July 4th... going to be non stop, not sure If I am physically able to...   :x

I've heard that you must do your port work before you plate it because it will make the Nik chip around the ports.

Yes, I'm getting a bit more porrting done.  As long as the person doing the porting is careful and experienced, you can do the porting after the plating. 

Aug. 9-12 St. Anthony, Idaho.
