ok i have a 87 zilla and one of the circlips come out of the piston or broke either one im not really sure but it made some grooves up my sleeve and it is already bored .100 over and we took and i put some jb weld in it and smoothed it out and then let it harden and then sanded it down and i cant feel the grooves any more but i was going to take it tomorrow and have it honed and smoothed back out and just put some rings on the piston and slap it back together and tr it does anyone think it will work or have any idea if it is even worth trying tell me what ya all think

the JB weld thing is not gonna work. your best bet is a new sleeve. and i say if your gonna resleeve that thing then look for a 530cc big bore for it. you thought the .100 over was fast!! anywa that 530 kit and maybe get a good trinity pipe for it or an LRD pipe and youi'll be screaming. oh yeah take a spare pair of pants with you when it's done lol

[87quadzilla_guy]

would you be interested in buying my zilla or know anyone that wuold be or anyone with a 250r or crotch rocket who would trade me

if i had the money and it's as nnice as you say i'd come down this weekend and buy it. but unfourtuatly i have no money what so ever. 3 shees will do that to you.

I would sleeve it back to a 500. I just did one today. The only problem with the big bore on that is the parts are getting hard to get and there is not enough domand anymore to do a production run on them.
