I'm amazed you dont make pistons yourself on some fancy cnc or something. lol! I know how the giving stuff away thing goes, been there, tried that. People just get mad at you if they dont get it.

I used to make my own pistons, but now I pretty much stick to screwing around with off the shelf pistons. To make a piston from scratch you have to use a 4-axis mill or a special cnc lathe capable of eccentric turning. The mill isn't hard to come by, but it's really slow and the special lathes aren't used for much else besides piston manufacture, so no one has them.

 

My problem with giving away stuff on here is that I would prefer not ship the stuff (I hate the post office), so I ask that someone comes and picks it up, but apparently that is too much to ask............ :biggrin:

Does it really surprise you? Next time you just need to include a carton of cigarettes...that will solve the problem. No, I am not trying to slam smokers, just making a point.

yea i was going to send them back BUT, its my fault i ordered 50 over and i thought my bike was already 50 over.. but in japan yamaha uses a different measuring stats then over here in the US.. i had stock yamaha OEM 50 over pistons. i thought the 50 on top of the piston was the size i needed... well come to find out i needed 30 over or something like that.. i needed a new bore anyway so i took the cylinders to my dealer (which is a good friend of mine that does awesome work). its boring the cylinders to match the pistons and opening up the intakes and exhaust (porting) ports,. chanfering the ports and tightening up the squish band and doing a hone job. all for $140 i cant complain!
