Sorry - originally posted this in techivcal by mistake!

Weirdly, my bike which has a a 180 degree triple that runs 4c cams, has two high compression pistons on the outside pots, but standard piston in the middle! Wondering if anyone has a standard bore high comp piston that might need a new home?

Not as uncommon as one would hope, in the world of "restoring" classic motorcycles, Steve.

Especially if it's a shiny tart up to sell on to a buyer who probably won't ride the poor thing any significant distance.
I was speaking to a bloke, yesterday, who'd restored an SF3. At great expense, according to him. Six years ago, and he seemed quite pleased to say "I've never, once, ridden it." It lies in a container, his son said he'd never seen the bike outside of it. "Probably rarer than a Jota." he proudly said
It takes all sorts!

That bloke probably should be collecting other things, stamps for instance…
