Looked like quite a solid piston in the pics.
I wonder if Ben tried then in his race engine? :?:
If it takes more than 2strokes then your just playing at it..

Well I wasn't asking the original question... But I would still like to know if you have tried them Ben and would you rate them? How do they compare in your engines against others you have tried?

Are they a direct replacement (other than single ring etc) ?
Do you have to modify barrel height or adjust compression / squish?
Are they a reliable alternative to std / Mitaka ?
:D

Hi Ben

If I make it - will be 23rd as I have one of the kids birthdays on 22nd and I don't believe I can convince the wife that a kids party at Donnington Race Track watching the GP bikes is better than the local play centre :cry:

Also I'm out at the CMC 2 stroke Sunday the weekend before so may have stamped my pass out card too many times...

But then it's local, love Donnington and would really like to see the GP series bikes in action if I can .. So I will have a go for the 23rd.

Hope to see you there.
Are you on your KR?

No I'm racing the Aprilia that weekend. I wanted to race an mini -twin as well, but I don't think I'm going to be fit enough. I'll bring a GOL piston with me so you can see one.
