Have many people have installed these and whats your impression afterwards.

Did it really wake up the torque of the bike ?

Even if it's a different brand ,, What's your

impression after boosting the compression ?

Nobody's done this ?

Hmm - maybe I shouldn't have bought that piston off E-bay .

In the process of doing it right now. Got the piston connected to the rod and waiting for my ring compressor to come so I can slip the piston on

Please post your thoughts after completing

Have you completed the project yet ?

Yes, Sorry I said I would report back. Installation ended up being a little tricky. The oil rails gave me a lot of trouble and I ended up having to buy a ring compressor to get the job done. In hind sight I would have done a dry rebuild because it burns a little bit of oil now. Not much but it does burn some. Power wise I saw gains all the way accross the board with more of a hit. I would defiantly reccommend this upgrade.

Another thing about the install you need to take the motor out of the bike to do it so it's a little time comsuming. The bike was out of commission for about 2 weeks. However if you have ever done a rebuild before then you will probably we able to do it quicker.

Why do you post for a 250 under the 230 slot??

What do you mean by a dry rebuild ?
I've put many a top end back together and always lightly coated the cylinder and piston and rings with motor oil before assembling.

I think hes referring to this.
