We make several barrels now, so a Dominator barrel is not out of the question. Is there one barrel for all Dominators, or variants? Then we would need a fairly good barrel to laser scan to produce our 3D model for tool path. So, next question is, do you have a barrel I can scan?
There would be two models that you could use to get all the Dominator variants, if you kept the bosses for the dynamo at the front of the barrel. The alternator versions can be run with the boss, or removed as an owner sees fit. The 500cc (model 7/88/88ss) are shorter than the 600 (model 99/99ss) and 650cc (650ss and Mercury) barrels. The 650cc barrels have cutouts in the skirt for rod clearance, but the 600 could run them with the cutouts with no issue (that I'm aware of), as it's a difference in stroke between the two. There are several fin shape differences that should be figured out as apparently one or the other does match with the head and can cause interference with the exhaust nut/wrench. There are spigotted and non-spigotted barrels, but there are already fixes for mixing and matching heads and barrels. I'd think 2 versions, both made with the dynamo boss, no spigots (to avoid having to machine the nicasil), with the non-interfering fin shape in a 500 and 600/650cc version would catch all the variants. I think...
Yes. I have barrels. @dynodave may have a better and more complete collection than I though.
