Which 88cc kit?

[Grant's trail]

I'm thinking about putting an 88cc kit in one of my bikes, TB has them, also Dratv has them too, they all range 300. to 450 dollars Whats everybody tried and what were the results? Thanks Grant

I've gone with the Dratv kit, twice, mostly because TB does not ship to Canada. Anyway, they're decent kits, but not top quality. Expect the bike to run pretty hot for the first ten or twenty miles as the piston and rings mates with the not-quite-finely-honed cylinder. Past that, I haven't had any problems and have got about 300 miles on the bike (mostly trailing).

I've read on many threads at this and other forums that the TB 88 kits are better quality than the dratv kits. Something to do with one is made in China and the other Taiwan, Taiwan making better quality parts.

I've ran Trailbikes bore kits for years with zero problems. You really can't go wrong with them.

I want to thank everyone for their input. I think I will try TB's kit, Steampick saying the Atv , cyl. was a course cross hatch finish. They Probley use a soft cast iron ring to seal it and let it wear in. It's going on a 70 H model I don't think I'll ever sell so I would like long service out of it. Thanks again Grant
