They're here!

<a href="s142.photobucket.com/albums/r107/samwell...current=jepiston.jpg" target="_blank">i142.photobucket.com/albums/r107/samwell314/jepiston.jpg" border="0" alt="New 8.5:1 Pistons!">

My block came back from APE bored out to 1075cc along with a set of shiny new JE 8.5:1 turbo pistons.

I've almost got enough done to make it run again....sort of! Well, the lower end is back in the frame, the chassis and electrics are all good. The wheels and brakes are done except for 1 of my front calipers - need another rebuild kit ('cause I buggered up the first one).

More pics once the garage is tidy enough to see the bike again.

Oops...I haven't used Photo Bucket in so long that I picked the wrong option. I hope this is better!

Crap and now the pic is too big! One of these days I'll figure it out. Hope fully before my wife's starts wondering why I'm photgraphing bike parts on *her* dining room table!

:woohoo:

Damn...those look great. Are you sure you want to put them in a motor and get them all oily and carbonized? Maybe you should put them on a shelf and just look at how pretty they are!!!
