Who did your 466cc boring?

 For those of you with the 466cc kit, what machine shop did you use?

 Contact info and links are appreciated.

 Anyone?
 This project is really snow balling and I could use some input from people who have done it.

 I have located a replacement engine. The 466 is on the back burner for now. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a good set of cylinders,through. Maybe get back on it one of these days.

I used ebay, this guy here

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Suzuki-Yamaha-Honda-Four-Cylinder-Boring-/250003511909?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a355eda65&vxp=mtr

This was for a 750 but he certainly seemed to know what he was talking about and he set the stuff up to the specs I had shipped with written on an index card. I wanted slightly different tolerances than conservative normal and I got them. I'm not talking full race or anything crazy just on the tighter side

 He told me he couldn't do anything that small, as did APE and at least two other places recommended by forum members.
