I would be interested in seeing more pics / better pic of the rear side of cylinder. As for it being a stock cylinder 350 with no spacer plate for the longer rod or what piston it uses to make it a 350.

If that really is a modified OEM cylinder than someone put a serious amount of work into it & it looks like they did a great job smoothing & blending every weld they had to of laid down on it. From the center of the cylinder forward it's all filled in & the area below the rear spiggot is also heavily filled in. It actually looks like it's larger diameter at the base too. I wonder if this was an early prototype cylinder for one of the big bore cylinder manufacturers or if it was just a backyard builder with talent. It looks interesting, can you get more pics of it?

I can if I buy it lol. Still debating on that one. The story is it was built by a retired Honda atv dealer who he'd recently sold his shop. Sounds unlikely but that is all the info this guy will give. I asked him about the guys ( builder) contact info and he said he doesn't have it anymore. It has an ESR pipe on it.

Here is another pic. Bad angle but it shows quality in my opinion. U can see the gasket looks new. All bolt heads match and are not rounded and a cool looking skid plate not to mention the high dollar bling parts on it. Can't say I've ever seen those foot pegs before either.

There is a missing pipe mount though which would not mean quality...
