You will be surprised at how nice that billet shifter and brake lever feel. It really does make a difference from stock, no flex, better more accurate shifting and brake control!

That billet kicker did take alot of play out of the kicker assembly as well. It does wiggle freely any more.

What type of riding were you doing the last 15 seconds or so before the piston failure? Show us the top and all sides of the piston.

Please leave this out of my thread. If you guys wanna talk about it , please make a new thread.

rablack,
I have an ESR pipe on my 87, do you find that it doesn't fit very well? Mine fits poorly, and it seems like some minor changes in their design would have aleviated that. Just curious.

I had a TRX5 pipe on before the tear down. Actually, I thought it fit quite well. Granted, I didn't like that the silencer didn't use exhaust hangers. But other than thant, I thought it fit fairly well. And it was much easier to install and remove than the Sparks mx pipe I had on previously.

Weird. This one is a TRX5 as well; definitely fits like crap. The head pipe isn't "straight" on the exhaust manifold, and the first bend in the pipe lays against the frame gusset on the inside of the bend (as in the pipe needs to sit a half inch further forward than it does). I've dinked around with it for several hours, and it just is what it is. The main issue is the position of the first bend from the head pipe into the expansion chamber, I'll get a picture when I'm back home again. I've always been a die-hard DynoPort fan, I know the owner and he is completely obsessive compulsive with his pipes; so I'm a little biased I suppose.

Yes, gets some pics and start up a thread and we'll talk it through. I use the front exhaust hanger and torsioning the pipe at different angles to get the fit that I want. But I was able to position the pipe so it wouldn't hit or lay against the frame.

Alright will do, I have to get it put back together first; in the process of doing the clutch. Some close up pictures of yours might help as well so we can compare.

Got my cylinder back! This piston is noticeably larger than stock. This porting is ridiculous! And when I say ridiculous, I mean amazing! Thanks Neil, you did a great job! I'm impressed.

tador as stated in chat after you use the correct oem type center section mount you will be all good. No problems with these pipes.

Looks like the fun is about to begin ryan. You will love that bb stroker.

That's one fancy work bench. The cylinder looks great, and I really like the new style heads.

Piston box says 72mm. What happened to the 350 beast? Should say 78mm

rablack21 · « **Reply #29 on:** December 08, 2014, 08:19:37 PM »

That was the old stock piston box. Look at the size of the piston in the pic. That's a 350 piston. I was comparing the size difference of the two last night, just to get a physical idea of how big the big bore was. It may be hard to tell, but Neil's porting is as smooth as can be. It's almost a razor's edge on the bottom transfer ports. Not sure if he did it or it came from ESR that way, but the front exhaust port is almost smooth like glass.
