looks like a good deal. I just got a wiseco 10.25:1 for $104 shipped and gaskets were about $20. Hopefully the extra few horse will be worth the extra

did your wiseco include rings, circlips, etc.? where did you order them from? do you think a wiseco is worth 55 dollars more?

Is there a reason you're going 40 over? If you're just looking to get compression back 10 or 20 should do it.

this is where I got mine and the higher compression is supose to be worth a couple more horsepower with out problems as far as ridability is concerned and you can run 92 octane with it ...... I think that for me the extra $ was worth it as I allready have a 30mm carb and a full kerker pipe for this bike . If you need to bore your cylinder then you will have to rejet any way so why not upgrade your piston? And yes it included everything as far as piston, rings, pin, circlips, stickers and instructions

that kit would scare me.... dosent say what brand it is... and that is way to cheap for a good piston. IMO you shouldnt cheap out on piston... its the heart of the engine.

Thats just what I was saying its not $200 I just paid $104 for a 50 over piston kit. Well worth the little bit of extra cash to get the higher compression and a brand name :TrikesOwn

I think mine was also right around $100 for a Wiseco 20 over at the end of last year. I got it from some guy on eBay.

most likely an ART piston- which there is nothing wrong with in a older 4 stroke, its cast, i wouldn't worry to much if your just running a stock motor,
