I just sent in a file this morning to get quoted on having pistons made in a 750cc 10.5:1 compression for the long rod conversion. MMM's kit looks nice, but I have a hard time swallowing the price myself...

SP370 Pistons have been shown to work, and I have a friend right now trying to use some aftermarket KZ900 Pistons as well.

i see this thread is quite old Hotdog, but did you ever make any progress on the pistons and rods?

Artistic shot

Pipes arrived from Gary Hoos Racing & intakes from Heiden Tuning ~ I couldnt resist a mock-up.

This will enable me to complete the cylinder head ~ R/D springs with Ti tops, MrRiggs rephased cam to 277deg & also reground to Shell #1 specs, 1mm o/s black diamond in & ex valves, Kibblewhite guides.

More progress soon ~ I hope......ciao
