In 75 my friend had his Z1 bored to 1013. 1015 is standard. I had mine bored to 1015 in 78. The Z1's are 903. Who makes them?

Theres nothing that rare about those pistons and block making them worth $1000.00 to me anyway! :sick: :whistle:
You could buy a kz1000 cylinder and have it bored with a new 1075 kit and still have money for lunch/gas for the week for that price. :woohoo:

Just looking for a pigeon.
They are rare. Hate to have to find rings for them.
I've bought from this seller.
Can we say shady?

Had a set of Yoshimura pistons in a 900 that were somewhere between 900 and 1000, Don't remember cc's exactly, that were at least 10.25:1 CR and CAST not forged. Lots of odd stuff back in the day.
