This 1999-2005 Kawasaki 1200 STX-R cylinder is newly re-plated to stock specs by Millennium with a lifetime plating warranty. There is some porosity in the plating as pictured, but it doesn't affect the longevity or performance A core deposit of $75 has been included in the purchase price of this cylinder. We will send a core refund for $75 back to you once we receive your eligible core cylinder. Broken skirts or significant casting damage (such as cracks into the water jacket) may not be eligible for core refund. We do not accept core cylinders that have been sleeved (iron liners installed). Please contact us if you have any questions about your cylinder or if your casting number does not match this cylinder. Shipping is only in the lower 48; unless you are purchasing through eBay's Global Shipping Program. If you are in Alaska please contact me before purchasing to check on shipping options. Thanks, -Paul
