We need more info , especially, what bike are you talking about?

I'm guessing GS 1000 by the 1085 kit.

I had the crank welded on my 78 GS 1000 when I took it all apart because it is an early model. Later GS 1000s had the cranks Loctited at the pins to prevent spinning

Gs1000s

Sorry about that its a Gs1000s 1980 with about 90,000 mls on the clock but she sound sweet as the day she was put together and still go!.it might already been done?.
the only reason its going to be bored is there is a score mark on number 2 barrell and she uses oil like anything .

Thanks
Steve

considering how long the bottem ends can last, it can't hurt to go ahead and have it done, especialy if you plan on enjoying that big bore.

how deep is the score? 1085 should be about a 2mm over bore (3mm = 1100)
I have over 150,000 miles on my 80 1000G and the bottom end is original unmolested. keep up with oil changes and the oil level and these bottom ends last a very very long time.

Bore scored

the the Bore is only very slightly marked, if I could have got over sized suzuki ones I would
have . they tell me they are no longer available over here.
