I dont really do to many posts on here, i mainly just read but i wanted to give a big THANK YOU to Eric. I learned about his services on here and reached out to him for some help on my sons 2004 CR125. I bought a complete engine from him because ours was in bad shape. I got a great deal on the engine and he got it to us in a timely fashion and it bolted right in. We did have some issues and he answered every call and gave us great guidance through the whole process. My son is extremely happy with the bike now and we will be sending ALL of our motor work to him from now on!

Thanks Eric!!

Awesome. Getting ready to send off the RM for the 144 treatment. I read his website and FAQ and he seems to really really know his stuff.

Good post!!

Eric is the real deal, and is a stand up business man to boot! I heard recently he plans on moving/merging over to Millenium Tech. super pumped for him!

When I get my 265 kit for my CR, he will be the man for the job!

I must have called him at least 20 times with questions on getting it tuned and each time he was a patient as the first. I would have lost my patience on the 3rd time to be honest....LOL

dude has had my sons ktm 65 cylinder for like three weeks to bore and plate. Overbore but not big bore. So I call him and ask if there was an ETA yet when we might see it. He tells me it is unsafe to bore to 47mm because of the power valve. I said well every kid we race against has this mod and you did it. He is like oh. I can offset bore it a little to the back and I am like fine lets do it. Just wish he would have called instead of waiting for me to call. I hate to pester.
The good thing about the 65 being down is he has been riding the 85 and loving it and ripping. (10y.o.)
Verdict is still out on pricing and turn around but I don't doubt the quality of his work, that is why we sent it to them.

He did my 86 CR250R in 87 at NSR and again in 2010. Outstanding workmanship and a rocketship to boot.

From his website, www.eric-gorr.com
SPECIAL ANNOUNCMENT

On January 1, 2013 Eric Gorr will build a stronger relationship between Forward Motion inc. and Millennium Technologies, the greatest cylinder plating company on Earth. This will allow us to utilize Millennium’s excellent facility to improve the speed and accuracy of order processing of 2-stroke big bore kits.

This new way of doing business will enable Eric to focus on new products and services for 2-stroke engines used in all forms of motorcycle racing, ATVs, and shifter-karts.

Eric will stop accepting service work on November 27th in order to complete the jobs before disassembling and moving his equipment to Millennium.

This web site will always be active and it will have a new look starting on December 15th 2012. Also we’ll continue to offer the same products and services until then. We’re in the process of selling-off inventory that we won’t need in the new business, including engines, cylinders, 2&4 stroke.

Reliable as stock, Smooth and fast (He calls it Mo' Better)
3 Trips to Lorettas (a 5th & an 8th) A Branson National Championship and two 3rds.
If he built Airplane motors I would fly on his planes!

Thanks for clearing that up, good to hear, guy does awesome work and I still have a yz125 that I'm contemplating turning into a 144.
