I'm assuming we are talking about Bill Ballance here? If so I would love to hear about the old school XC 250R setups that Arlan developed.

I can tell you I owned one of Ballances Lrd aluminum Crf hybrid frames for awhile,seriel number 0001. I believe I sold it to an ice racer up north

Here is an old magazine article on Bill Balance's bike.

So can we still get that same engine built for under $1000 as the caption states?

The cost of the doing this kit today with all needed parts and labor is $1148.00. This includes top end gaskets, o-rings spacer plate, long base studs, piston, sleeving, porting and reshaped head.
If however there is interest in this kit I would offer it for $999.95 through February of 2014. We have actually made some improvements since this article written.

I inquired about this cylinder a couple years ago and Arlen you had emailed me the dyno specs on this cylinder. If you still have them it would be pretty cool to see again.

Hawaiiysr · « **Reply #13 on:** November 22, 2013, 11:39:14 PM »

I'm sure he has them. All the times. I have called him and asked about specific things and he says, hold on let me see... OK ya here you go and give me what ever info I am inquiring about. This guy keeps notes

tretimit16 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 23, 2013, 09:05:30 AM »

Yea I figured he would. Everytime Ive email him he replies promtly and informatively about his products. I was thinkin and I might of been wrong the info he sent me may have been on the 350pv. I inqiured about a few so it hard to remembed. Either way this cylinder is pretty cool I have sparks 300 I need redone and I think Arlen will be the man. Just don't want to waste your time until I have the money. Hopefully after the holidays.
