piston kits supplier help please

(1/3) > >>

Wookster:
Afternoon all,

I’m in the process of rebuilding a 1976 cb500t, I’ve found that the bike had only been running on one cylinder and scored up the bore pretty badly so I’m looking for new pistons and rings but my engine builder is having trouble sourcing them, could some one point me in the right direction to a UK supplier if possible please ( not sure if I need to go over size and not checked the bore diameters yet.  Thanks for any help.

Trigger:
These are not easy to get hold of in the UK. Over the past 5 years i have built 2 CB500T engines and have had the pistons sent from the USA. CMS do pistion's for the CB500T but cost about £80 each and then you must buy the rings at about £60 each, so if your looking at two piston's and rings, you looking at £280 to £300. The states is a lot cheaper.

Wookster:
Excellent trigger, did you get them from ebay then or do you have any contact details of the chap you used please as I'd like to use someone reputable, thanks again.

Trigger:
The last set i got was from Western Honda in phoenix. I have just sent them a mail but, you will have to find out if you need over size first. I will also check with some German dealers.

Trigger:
Found some aftermarket rings at a good price;
