[QUOTE="davidd, post: 38389, member: 1177"] I have run Nikasil in the racer. It was originally done by John Renwick. I am using the same cylinder that he plated almost twenty years ago and I do not run an air cleaner. Here in the U.S. we use Millennium Technologies in Ohio. If you send them a sketch with the liner dimensions, a piston and a muff they return it ready to install. I believe the interference fit of the sleeve to the muff is about .001". Thus, any muff but the series D diecast muffs would be suitable. You can also measure the spigot in the head and specify a slightly taller one on the sleeve if necessary. You can specify the length of the sleeve to fit the piston. I run a full skirt in the racer, but Pat Manning has been running slipper pistons for the street bikes in Nikasil bores. Make sure that the rings supplied to you are suitable for Nikasil or supply them yourself. The series D Shadow Pat rode at the North American rally this year had Nikasil cylinders. As far as I know, nobody had done a cylinder and liner in one piece. I suspect there is someone in NZ that would do the same as Millennium. At worst, you might have to order the sleeve from another supplier. John Renwick used to turn them from solid, but the chips would fill the shop. Millennium bought a sleeve manufacturer a few years ago, so it is one stop. [URL]http://www.mt-llc.com/cylinder.php[/URL] David [/QUOTE]
