Saw some 999cc pistons the other day for a kz900. What are some odd bores you guys have seen?

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?

i have taken used kz1000 pistons and a used 900 block(that had a beer bottle rusted into one sleeve :whistle: ) and bored and honed the block to match the used pistons (gathered from two different set of pistons)set the gaps on new rings and it's still rollin today.

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:

Ha I agree! Seems a little much for used Pistons and cylinder that's chipped, Just odd bore though.

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.

Over 30 years with z1's, Currently down to only one 75, a j model dragbike, and 2 KZ1000 dragbikes.
