Also if you want a forged high compression piston you can get a Vito's super stock. In reality if you are getting your cylinder ported and head cut you won't need a high compression piston. If you are hell bent on a high comp piston be sure to tell your builder so he can allow for it.
Can I assume a knowledgeable builder will know how much to cut into the head if I'm just sending in the top end components? Or will they need the entire engine assembly, crank and all? I plan on doing the assembling myself because I am of modest means and have enough know how, but I'm not a machinist by any stretch.
I also figured out what pipe I have on this bike. It looks identical to this one here except no logo on the silencer:
Can anyone give me info on that? It's definitely the same pipe, has a downturn out the manifold and quite a nasty cackle. Nasty enough someone called code enforcement on me for doing donuts out back with it!
It seems like whoever had this bike prior or whoever put it together had a few pretty nice goodies to work with. Alloy wheels, extended swingarm (2"), D&G front bumper, etc. I noticed my back brake isn't a factory unit either. It says "Trenga Racing" and has two stainless lines running to the master cylinder.
At the same time the throttle cable was all kinked up. I had to order and custom cut a new one to length. They had really jimmy rigged the boot on the pro-tec manifold up using a piece of radiator hose that wasn't even tight. I was gonna order the correct one from pro-tec but the guy said all they send you is a chunk of radiator hose, hahahaha. So I went to home depot and found a 1 1/4" plumbing connector hose, complete with two clamps, took it home, chopped it in half, and it worked perfect. A bit of a tight fit between intake, carb, and airbox line, but it worked!
