Piston Anybody ???

(1/2) > >>

So I just made a custom intake with boost bottle hookup for my hillclimber and when I had the intake off I noticed that the pistons getting the usual y crack in the skirt. So its time for a new piston. I'd like to get a forged piston so I can window it but at this point I don't really care but it would be prefered. I don't have that much money so I'm only looking to spend about $100 on a piston. Does anybody know where I could get one for that amount ? I know its pretty cheap but I figured I'd ask. Or does anybody have a spare that they'd sell me. Its just the std 86mm bore. I f anybody could help me out that'd be great, thanks for looking !

Motorrad:
Iike to see a pic of your old piston..   

Sorry.. No help with a n?w one

lifeishp:
ok i'll take a pic when i pull the cylinder. its funny i pulled the cylinder on my cr 500 today and its got a crack in the same place but its just a single crack. i checked clearances and its fine. the piston only has maybe ten hours on it if that. its a pro x which i thought was a good cast brand of piston. looks like i'm gonna have to try my luck with wiseco again which means i'm gonna be paying like $140 for a piston if i'm lucky. what kind of pistons do you guys run ? and has anybody heard of mahle pistons ? my friends 92 ktm 500 had one in it. i've also seen i think elko pistons ?

Wossner, I get a good price, I will double check price with shipping in the morning.  I was going to buy a few and window them.

kwakman:
Mahle are a good brand, dunno if they do a K5 though.K.
