Where to get XS1100 engine work done?

[Bibleman]

Hi guys, this may not be the right place to ask this, but I've always gotten such good advice here before:ride: ? I have a nice '79 Yamaha XS1100 Special with about 19k miles on it. I'm thinking about having an 1179 big bore kit installed and I would like to have the engine gone over thoroughly. This is out of my mechanical ability, so I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a shop that either specializes in these (kind of) engines or just a shop that would be competent in general. I'm also wondering about the cost of such work (I realize it depends on what they find in there too), since I may sell it if it's going to be too much. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks:thumbsup:

We can do the block and pistons for you, as well as rebuild the head. Check out our Yamaha big bike site; http://yamahazone.biz/

PS Can you do the big bore kit too? I assume the trans is something you don't mess with??

Yes we can. We just don't assemble the engine.
