$281.25US

Does anybody make 11 to 1 or 12 to 1 instead of the 10.25 to 1?

 I found a set on fleabay, NIB for 225 delivered.  They were the speedstar ones.

$225? used or new? Does the seller have only one set?

I believe those are the ones I bought.  He had bought them for his Roadstar and sold the bike so they were available.  Justice had a set for a while, I do not know if he still has them.

To high on our thumper motors.

 Boy, R-1 front forks have come down in price on ebay; looks like the economy strikes everwhere.

buy yourself a set & swap them out if you haven't already...you won't regret it.

 I have already made the conversion, and "yes", it made all the difference in the world.  I went with '08 legs and used the 6 puck brakes. Everything about the conversion was a plus.

You've been PM'ed

Alright , found the best price from a brother on the forum.

Thanks 07!!

Now I need some help putting them in

They were New In Box = NIB.  :)

Actually it was from a private seller.  This chick was selling them, her hubby had a new warrior, bought all these parts (the speedstar pistons included) and totalled the bike before he got a chance to put the stuff on.   I thought i got a pretty sweet deal.

What's with the HC pistons Randy?   You'll need some help if you've never done it.  Gunny came up from Huntsville to help me and all I can say is if it hadn't been for him - I'd still be installing them.  Hardest part is getting the jugs back down over the new rings and adjusting valves after the install.   It takes four hands unless you've got "experience"

But, you've got until next April to get it done.
