Mark, the advice I've received against boring goes something like:
The thinner walls of the bored liner may contribute to overheating issues
slightly. While it'll cost slightly less to bore the old liners, it's likely a
false
economy. The 87mm liners are engineered for 87mm pistons, get a
matched set.
I bought it, don't know if you should. I also have this magnetic seat
cover that helps my Triumph get better mileage. ;-)
