[DEairheads] [PAAirheads] Fwd: 83 R80RT /7 engine repair

[Kathryn Connell]

Not knowing exactly where he is other than VA, my first suggestion would be
Anton Largaider:  http://vamotorrad.com/service/

Otherwise, in PA near Philly is Tom Cutter: 
http://rubberchickenracinggarage.com/
who has done all the serious work on my /6.

both are some of the absolute best Airhead guys on the east coast. You'd 
have to probably trailer the bike there.
Hope this helps

suggestion for Dave??

Dave welcome  and sorry to hear about your r80 problems. I am not familiar
with anyone around here working on motors. I mostly do my own maintenance
but I haven't gone any deeper than top end work. It sounds like your
problem may be in the bottom end. I will post your original email and see
if anyone else responds.
