Damn straight, Woggy!


From TB site:
Honda Trail Bikes
170cc to 184cc Big Bore Kit:

- All aluminum ceramic plated 64mm cylinder with skirt
- NEW 6/28/10 We increased the skirt height and size on the lightweight high compression 64mm piston with rings, pin, & clips to increase reliability and service life (picture is not updated yet showing piston change)



I'm not saying the shortys aren't in the re-seller pipeline, just that they are now non-catalog items, since 6/28/2010...
The next batch of jugs might just have a little longer spigot, too Stroker guys seem to like them... 66x63-215cc jobber:

at the end of the day it all comes down to what the customer/ owner wants.
if there trying to squeeze every little bit of power out then low service life will mean nothing to them as the short piston makes for a very snappy engine

edit..

back in the day and a little still today, you can stroke and bore a 350 chev to over 460 cubes.. guess how long the piston is lol.
the wrist pin is actually under the oil ring, meaning remove oil rings to remove wrist pin...

now thts short, and they were used in drag cars, sand rail etc oh and alot of hotroders

Pretty much, but the forged Wiseco weighs 7g less than the Tak S-Cut
At 143Kg, I know one can have their cake, and eat the whole thing, too... lol

Most pittie riders can't afford service hours they can count on one hand. Maybe just my broke self? lol

That is beautiful , how much?

That one's a Mahle at aboot $300 a pop. Ferrari F1 slug.
JE can do some similar work for bikes at $200-ish, though, if you buy a 4-pack or more.
I think we're gonna have some done for the Tak 4v head, or just use 150R pistons and swap the rods for an XR100 one with my 56.6 stroker. 66mm bore and decent price, off-the-rack availability is nice.
