pistons, which brand

[awesomeame]

i'm rebuilding my shee, was just looking on ebay at piston kits, here's what i found:

 

WSM gold-------$209

WSM platinum-$135

namura---------$140

wiseco----------$145

 

they all include gasket sets

 

are any of the above choices fine?? or are some junk?

 

my last set of pistons were from vertex, there was a ten thousands difference between the two. not too impressed with that!!

no problems with wiseco

I've used the WSM and Wiseco. Havn't had any problems with the WSM this year. Had some trouble with wiseco's a few years back. Never used the Namura pistons.

wiseco. Heard some bad stories of the neurma. wouldnt want to try a new piston to save ten bucks.

wiseco----------$145

Definatly WiZeCO they are the most proven pistons in all cases with all sorts of diffrent motors. I wouldent dream of putting any other pistons in my shee.

Odd...

Isn't platinum better than gold??

not in taiwan

I'd go with wiseco's prolites. they're a forged piston which will allow your bike to rev a little easier as opposed to a cast piston which weighs more. Just don't exceed 1100 degrees or you'll melt her down.

I have had the same set of Wiseco pistons in my engine for 6 years. No problems what so ever.

I had to fix a hole in the case at the clutch pivot. and add a stroker crank :biggrin: but I used the same pistons and rings (6yrs old)
