Woodsy,
I know my KX125 dirt bike has a nikasil coated bore, but since I have never been crazy enough to get into fast street bikes (because I would soon be dead!) I cannot vouch for them...
My Artic Cat snowmobiles also utilize nikasil in the cylinder bores...
If memory serves me, when I had to get one of those Cat cylinder "jugs" re-nikasiled about 5 years ago, it ran me about $120 for the ONE!
Yea, it ain't cheap, but it is some pretty awesome stuff...
Cool block David!!! I wonder if your use of all of that aluminum making these blocks is going to affect the price of my "beverage of choice"... BEEERRRR!!
