i have been wondering for a while what would be the problem with having lc barrels nikacil coated and the pistons tpc coated.
i know as i have a tzr-r 125 that its nikacil and seems much more durable than a steel liner.
The only thing i can think of is do the rings have to be of a certain type to match the nikacil bore.

The problem is that you would have to remove the iron liners and fit alloy ones before you could have them nikasilled.
Not a financially viable thing realy.
Just had my NSR barels re=plated. Got them back today and they look lovely.

Shane, that is the barrels from my Honda NSR 'Noodle'! They are all alloy.
The company that I use is Langcourts near Weston Super Mare. They have been engine platers for many years. They do many racing motors so know there stuff.
