Here Jugs Racing and FAST do awesome porting and have a decent turn around time.

vF4 reeds, welded stock crank and a good pipe and you’ll be flying. If you have money though, through it into a arms and shocks.

i went with the athena kit what do u think

I think it was a bad move. Unless your cylinders are finished your stock cylinders are the way to go. Athena has bad plating and port timings I’ve read makes the power band narrow. You would have been better getting Driveline cylinders which have taken that design and improved it and drastically improved the plating.

If its already on the bike and all you need is a piston, run it. Is the cylinder scored so bad it needs re-plating?
