Has anybody had their rear drum resurfaced? What kind of shop did you have it done at? Was an auto shop able to use their drum lathe on the xs650 drum, or did you have to go to a bike shop?

Thanks!

Just and update :

I'll be bringing my drum to the auto mechanics across the alley from my shop, and we'll see if we can spin it on a regular drum brake lathe. If it works, I'll let you guys know!
