Bore & hone $300-$400 ($80 a hole here in Az)
possibly new sleeves pending size piston selection ...
Camshafts pending used / new... $300-$500
Adjustable cam gears... $75 each = $150
Wedded crank to handle increased torque ~$200
All new timing components (chain, rubber, gears) $300 +
New gasket complete set $80
If above mentioned used, Head valves/seals/guides P&P.... ~ $600 +
As can be reviewed, this stuff adds up fast. All depends on what your desiring. New parts (recommended) but since you gave it a $2K setting, will require some used pieces such as the camshafts.
Now throw in the following for what good is the above if you only have POS carbs installed....
Carbs $700
electronic ignition $240 + pending model
Exhaust $500 +
Time to rape the kids college fund....

my only advice is...yer gonna need more money. but then again you got a free set of drag bars didn't you? i am sure that goes a long way!
as you all can see myself and good ole marvo75 have had our differences. i sent him a set of $20 bars to satisfy HIS add here on KZr to TRADE for his $20 set of bars. Problem is he had MY bars in 2-3 days, I have yet to get HIS bars. Then he starts calling me a fag/gay, and a bunch of other childish crap when I am forced to continually check with him to see if/when he has shipped the bars. Which he promised to, no less than 4 times. I am sure he will claim to have stopped delivery, and I don't really care. The post office will NOT stop delivery! And thats the means of which he promised to ship them. I gave it back to him harder than he could take I guess...LOL I still have no bars because HE never intended on sending any in the 1st place.
This guy is exactly why we all need a FORUM for sellers !

Lately I have been scammed a few times.
Unfornutely marvo75 was one of those times.
The guy had a add for Trade. He claimed to have a brand new set of Super Bike bars that he wanted to trade for a set of chrome drag bars. I sent him pics of my NEW IN WRAP bars and asked for pics of his. Main reason is I wasn't even sure if I could use them. Anyway I never got a pic, BUT I trusted him and went ahead and sent my bars to him. He had them in 2-3 days. A few more days passed and I started asking him when and how he shipped his bars to me. Everytime I asked him [4 times] he had another lame story.
On the last request he then started calling me gay, fag, and how he was and could/should kick my ass? I love the last one...LOL
Anyway as a way out for him he also told me he was going to stop shipment of the bars....LOL He never sent them or possibly never had a set to begin with.
Out of curiousity I called the post office [he said they were already shipped] and asked them if they stopped shipments. The clerk assured me there was NO WAY that could happen if shipped with normal means...LOL So another fib...LOL
He promised to ship them 2 day, then overnight, he thought his wife had shipped them, he was going to ship them so on and so on.
Without any doubts I want anyone that reads this to know, I lowered myself and played his game. I insulted him, his mother, as well as wife [i think]. I gave it back to him harder than he gave it to me. And obviously he couldn't handle it.
I am just sick and freaking tired of these BS scammers getting away with it.
This is more than likely the last I am going to say of this poor excuse of a member, or circumstances. All I know is I did what I promised, and he didn't. I lowered myself to his standards and I am not proud of it. But I am not appologizing for it either. Folks like marvo75 get what they deserve.
