Would anyone be interested in a set of forged hi compression pistons? JE said they will make them but the minimum order is for 2 pairs, the price the bloke gave me was
$720 for the 2 pairs with all circlips pins rings etc basically ready to drop in - now $360 is a BLOODY good price for pent roof pistons seeing as they are 250 quid EACH from Ducati.

They also do them in +1mm (1037CC) too.

Hope someones interested, failing that does anyone know a good source of pistons in the UK?

The compression is 12.5 - bear in mind this depends on gasket etc, all thats needed before installing is a deglaze for the 100mm pistons

Are they drop in pistons or do i have to get it rebalanced thinking about rods and crank...

12,5 should do nicely or what???? what can i gain in HP..

I guess it depends on the weight of the originals - not sure what you'd gain just from them, they're usually fitted along with other parts and work like a blueprint and gasflow :D
