Title: Machining services (boring/porting/crank rebuilds/etc.) recommendations for RD's
Post by: rdsarefun on August 10, 2023, 06:29:31 PM
Wanted to ask some of the forum members who(m) they would recommend for machining services.  I have some feedback already, wanted to get a larger consensus of anyone reputable in the continental US, quick search yielded few results.

Thanks, Brian

Ed Toomey can do it all. But, he does cranks well.
Bill Bune does cranks and boring.

Appreciate the feedback. As these bikes get 'older', the skillsets and individuals who work within/run competent machine shops (specializing in these bikes) are getting harder to find as people are aging out.

RB and then Garrett were my guys for the past 15years. Dunno who to turn to now. 🤷�♂️

I know that Ed Toomey delivered some work to a friend of mine in the paddock at Barber last year.

Ed Toomey recently did my machine work bore, stg II porting, transfers,intake exhaust, head and crank rebuild with a really descent turn over and descent pricing.

Even straightened bent fin and welded a broken fin that was hard to even find after but of course I knew where it was located.

Also had the heads and barrels recoated with polished edges.
