I just ordered oem parts for my stage 1 rebuilt. Parts are from japan.webike.net, and price is about 60% after tax compared to EU prices. Only these parts are not enough to get free shipping, but this shop has a lot of useful and interesting stuff.

Here is my list for engine rebuilt, maybe somebody will find it useful.

I see you have run a C36 and C35 stack build. Racetech says C34 which I have. Is this to reduce dive a little or better turn hold?

Current C35 on blade forks is based on Roger D recommendation :-)

CP pistons shipped today, hope i will start in march.

Great news upload some pictures when you get them

next week, pistons are in czech and just in process of tax duty. Oem parts are shipped today from Japan, it seems that bike can be ready during march :-)

Great . The race is on then ! I must get a move on with mine today

Got the pistons today :-) They are approx 65g lighter. I hoped for their X design at the bottom, nevermind. Bore is 98.5 mm, compression should be about 11.3, maybe I will measure to check. Hope there will be enough space for valves, but original piston was used as template ...

that should make a difference....

I would suggest getting your crank re-balanced afterwards......

Very nice is them and a lot different to mori and JE ones

There is no need for it, crankshaft is balanced separately. You can use whatever pistons and rods you wish, if they are same weight front and rear. V90 is partly selfbalancing it.

I would be more scared with flywheel lightening, but it is safe for the same reason as above.

Any chance you can post up some pics of the inside of the Pistons please :-)

lloydie: not now, but in a week I could do it. Pistons are now at my serviceman.

Ok that'll be great
