Pistons in the UK

[adi1974]

Hi there. I've a 78SE and I'm in need of a rebore. Its already 1st oversize so I'm looking for 2nd oversize pistons. Its a 477 crank btw. I'm struggling to find anywhere in the UK or Europe selling them. Can anyone point me to any sources I dont know about please?

I've tried Yambits, they only have one at the moment. I've tried to contact Heiden but not getting any replies.

I guess I might end up mail ordering from the States but the shipping and import tax is a killer I'd rather avoid if I can.

Cheers
adi

Try Heiden tuning http://www.xs650.biz/p/36/mo74-cg|22=5 but try working out if it will be cheaper to get them from the US and pay import duty

Thanks Jay, I've already tried Heiden. They dont have them listed on the website and I've emailed but not heard back.

I've used Mikes XS and the shipping was reasonable on the bits and bobs I have had

Mikesxs has 3rd oversize on offer, might be cheaper to look on ebay at the American breakers and get a set of barrels and pistons,

These guys have 4 or 5 650's downstairs.

Thanks for that but I want to buy un-used / new pistons and rings for peace of mind. Cheers though

Hi Adi, I have bought some bits from Wolfgang Hahn at Twins Inn in Germany. He has pistons and rings here http://www.twins-inn.de/twins-inn/start.htm
I think you can get the site in English but couldn't find the button just now. Good luck

Thanks Shakey, I couldnt get the shop to translate in my browser so I've emailed him. Looks like a good lead. Thanks man

He does speak english, but if you need any translation then give me a shout as I can speak a bit of german.
