Anyone here....can you bore my top triple?

[Monsterlover]

You would...

I've got a dremel, a hammer and a case of PBR.  Send it to me.  I gots skillz.     

Loose the PBR, go with a six'r of MGD and you can drop the price another 5$

you don't need to bore the triple -- it will fit if you tried a bit harder like on this one S4R that came into my shop for "minor fixes".

If I remember correctly that bike turned into a real black beauty! Mike's a lucky man that mess came across your door step.

FYI, mine was 40 bucks to have bored.  That price included the custom shims ( .5 mm bands, solid  )

Not sure if boring them open is a good idea. That will make them weaker. Are not the 53mm ones larger overall?

Not Black Fog (S4 Foggy originally) -- although that bike was just as screwed up with the SBK swingarm hackjob ("hackjob" is a compliment to what they really did to it!) and other damage from hitting the ground on both sides and bending things.  The above was a 2005 S4R Monster that had seen better days but is currently being rebuilt. 

Would you believe I've actually seen worse?  Two in fact.  Another S4R that got disassembled and the good remainder parts were sold off in pieces.  Second was a "custom Ducati powered sportbike" that a customer brought in -- I returned it untouched with the cavaet it best should be planted in the front yard as a yard ornament -- it really was that horribly built.  Fortunately it was also parted out shortly thereafter.

Really you're talking about taking 1.5mm off the entire circumference, not a lot of material...
