Getting mine from XLint. You'll pay around US$340 for a MegaCycle needle cam and $150 to line bore. $65 to ship from US to here. Rather than post the head from here I just bought one over there and had it sent straight there....save a bit and end up with a spare head.

There must be somebody here in Australia that supplies cams, machines the head and fits the rollers, my friend lives in ACT area. come on all you 4 strokes fellows, gee, you must know someone that is in a machine shop.

he would have been much better off buying my cr250 and just riding would have cost cheper in the long run as well.

Go for the bronze slipper bearings, most machine shops should be able to do this simple conversion.

I would have thought any good engineering/machine shop should be able to do it......but they be hard to find. I tried Serco and Waggots, both either wouldn't or couldn't, also a couple of smaller places.
End result is why I gave up and went the US route.
Reckon it's just a matter of knocking on the right door though.

Having done this myself , It's not an easy job , mostly because it's a blind hole that you are boring.
Most Vintage guys will not see why it cost so much. It really is a 4 hour job that should cost over $400
