    HC pistons

    Hey I was thinking about getting PR 10.25 HC drop in pistons. Do you halfto have the case bored or anything. Does anyone have them. Would these be a good investment. Can anyone tell me what is all involved in doing this.

    Do not bore or hone the cylinders. They should be inspected. The 97mm hc pistons are drop in. Do a search for hc pistons there is alot info.

    Easy install with the engine still in the frame.

    We'll see. I have PR pistons and springs in the garage. Hopefully this winter I can get them in the bike.

    If you have average mechanical skills and can get your hands on the tools required, the dealer is just a waste of $$$.
