Topic: Cylinder Hone for CB350F - Will this one work?

[matt s]

Ok, I know its a Harbor Freight product, but all I want to do is score my cylinder walls.  Will this cylinder hone work:

It says it will work for 3/4" to 2 1/2" inch diameter.  Not sure what grit the stones are, though.

I used brake cylinder hone just like that one on my 350 last year.  It was a shock to see how small the pistons and cylinders were.  I did not over do it, just removed the shiny surface with modest drill speed and a lot of oil.  I know I should not have done it but I reused the rings after confirming they were free.  The engine has run well since.

Thanks for the reply!  I will go ahead and give this a shot then!

I used one just like it on my XL175 and it worked great.. but it was not real bad to begin with.
