    Oh yeah let's get 7+ people intetested to get the price down! If we can get it down to $95 for piston that would make it much more doable for me. The wife told me today no spending money even though it was for her bike! So I guess I have to sell the 650 pistons and cylinders that I have that are good standard bore, and the original Morris Mag wheel off the Rickman that I don't have a match for or desire to run a 2.15 X 18 skinny rear... getting creative with the financing so that this project doesn't put me out any.


    No, not selling that head gasket. There is the one I linked still for sale for $44.95, same part # (w3165?), photo is just a default head gasket photo, not the actual product.

      Can you give me Al's phone number and extension, so that I can contact him when it comes time to do the 475cc gs425 racer and the 894cc GS750 engine for the Rickman?

      I'm hoping they will be willing to re-engineer a 71mm 10.5:1 version of their GS750 69mm 844cc piston, as the guy that had the $680 one-off set of 71mm 894cc 11:1 JE Pistons made lost interest in bikes and never got back to me with his JE order # so that I could re-order the same...
      I need 6 of those pistons for the 2 bikes. If I could get 2 other people interested, $500 is a better price than the JE's for sure, but JE are maybe slightly nicer. Can't afford Carillo/CP...

        Ha ha I knew you were not going to sell the gasket. I was just trying to be funny. Als number is 4404973105. That's the number he called me with. I will get the other number with the extension tomorrow at work. Do you have any good recruitment ideas? And how we will pool money?

          Hey Chuck here is the number that I called to get ahold of AL 1-800-321-1364 ext: 3105. This is just to make sure I gave you the correct number yesterday. Also I have started a google docs excel spread sheet to keep track of the number of sets of pistons everyone wants. Just to clarify I am considering a "set" 4 piston assemblies, because a bike requires 4 pistons. Here is the count so far:

          Chuck78: 1 set
          Ace07: 1 set
          Tkent02: 1 set

          That brings us up to 12 pistons so far, so if you guys know anyone who wants some pistons please have them post on here and I will add their name to the list.

                Ray is just one of our resident high performance engine builder professionals, he only has 16v tscc gs1100 engines pretty much, was just commenting on the price

                    what date does everyone want to order the Pistons by? The sooner the better for me, but I also want everyone to have a chance at it.

                      I'm in no hurry at all, but I'll go along with what everyone else does.

                        Ok does the end of the month sound like a good time to close the polls to everyone?

                          Funding is looking tighter than planned, so later than that would be welcomed by me and make it more of a possibility.

                              Sorry for the late reply guys. I am fine with waiting because I have alot of other things that still need to be done to the bike. Are you guys thinking a month out, 2 months, 6 months? I dont mean to sound pushy or anything, I just a excited about the project.
