If I put on some Nikasil cylinders that are in original packaging, have =
been kept dry in workshop on shelving, but probably on shelf for about 4 =
years, would there be any chance of these suffering any fate like the =
plating peeling up from the changes in temps over the years, or should =
they be just as good as new? I am planning on buying these from a guy =
so I can get my bike up quickly, and then replace them later for him. I =
am not getting any discount, just the possibility of getting my bike =
ready for some local rallys. They are the same brand as carried by MG =
Cycle, Moto International, Harpers, etc. Purchased in Italy for spares.
