Who supplies pistons (and possibly cylinders0

I have been to the vendor list here, but made no progress in my search.

I am interested in pistons (and if necessary cylinders) for a
'81 CSR 1000, and a '82 KZ1100.

In both cases I am interested in more displacement, and possibly increasing compressionratios.

Also, who re-builds cranks for this 4 cylinder beast?

Do you want to purchase oem cylinders bored to oversize pistons? Why not just have your bored.

If I can find the pistons I know I can machine the existing cylinders.

One of the main (roller) bearings is 'rough', when rotated by hand.
I think the bearing needs to be replaced and the crankshaft inspected io this area.

I do not know the history of the crankshaft in question

I admire APE Jay's restraint :evil:

APE has oversized piston/cylinder sleeves/blocks for both the 1000 and 1100.

How big do you want to go?

Pistons/sleeves/etc

Complete Kits I believe other kits are available, just e-mail to check.

81-82 GPz1100 motor is basically the same as the 82 KZ1100 motor.

I'm reasonably certain that Jay would be more than helpful were you to contact him by e-mail. :)
