03shee775 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 My stock cylinders are nearing the end of their life. Picked them up used with a dune port/fresh bore from FAST. They absolutely ripped and won't hesitate to use those guys again. I would like to start with a fresh set of stock jugs and send them to FAST or HJR. I have heard mostly positive reviews on the niche jugs. Obviously if cost were not a factor, I would start with a factory set. Tempting with their low cost however. I will be sending them out to be ported and get pistons with either factory or aftermarket. There is no going back to stock after riding a nice dune port. Anyone sent cheap cylinders to a reputable builder and have any feedback? Jugs are not necessarily the place to skimp but if they work they work... I love my cylinders but it seems like sleeving and redoing the porting isn't necessarily cost effective/best? I know this topic has been beat to death as I have searched a lot of the last week. Appreciate any/all words of wisdom, thanks! Setup: Beater dune bike. +2 A-arms, mostly stock. Almost all riding is at Sand Mountain Nevada. Usually do one Glamis trip a year and Pismo once a year if possible Stock crank Stock carbs, 350-380 mains adjusted for altitude/temp. Clamp on filters Noss cool head 21cc domes. Pump gas T4 pipes (on the hunt for a cheap set of T5's or other pipes if possible). Also have FMF's on my back up bike but the T4's run better Vforce 2's. Will be moving to Vforce 4's as i need new petals and the price has come down Timing will be at +4 when i get around to installing the plate Quote
kawa110 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 I have a set of stock jugs. I’ll get some pics for u this afternoon. 200$ shipped. Obo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
03shee775 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Posted October 22, 2019 One of my options is to buy a used already ported set, but that can be a crapshoot depending on the source Quote
03shee775 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Posted October 22, 2019 The driveline jugs also seem like a decent way to go if anyone has recent feedback on those... So many options, most just keep raising the budget. For the record, this bike is pretty rough and will be doing a ground up build in a year or 2. Quote
03shee775 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Posted October 22, 2019 Honest opinions on the porting/condition of these jugs? Please keep it friendly as not to discourage potential buyers.. Quote

I also have a set of ported OEM cylinders at 65mm for sale . But if I were you I would honestly go 4 mill. I had a ported bike and it always left something to be desired after a few months. The 4mill just totally changed everything for me. I don’t have much experience driving one, but I was pretty impressed with my driveline setup l. You can build a decent 4 mill for about 15-1800 new. Also I would keep your vforce 2s they are better than 4s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Please keep it friendly as not to discourage potential buyers..I didn’t even see this. Those are mine. Had them on my bike for a month and then went to the driveline. Jesse at macdaddy does a great job with OEM jugs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
03shee775 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Posted October 22, 2019 4 mill is the end goal but trying to this on the 'cheaper' end of things. I asked in your for sale thread but what was your setup when running those cylinders and how did it run? Quote

gusto Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 Shit, buy the ported cylinders offered in this post and be done with it. MacDaddy is a sponsor and builds good shit. Quote
kawa110 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 Original bore?I’ll measure. But your better off with killa am daddy top end setup. It’s ready to runSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
03shee775 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Posted October 22, 2019 For reference. Here is the porting on my FAST jugs. Which have ruined the un-ported experience for me. Even with questionable tuning it keeps up with my buddy’s ported stock cylinder 4 mil Quote
