Any news on when this is going ahead (has gone ahead)???

I’ve emailed sarah to join the +2 club but haven’t heard any news.

Seems no news then :p

I'd be interested in a set of the +2 and 13.5:1 ones, but unfortunately I'm unlikely to afford it till the end of the year...

Hi all, I'm new to the board. I just finished building a RVF for a customer using Mike's 57mm pistons and a lot of his help and advice. We broke it in and raced it two weeks ago. It was easly the fastest bike in it's class. No real tuning or set up time on the bike. Guessed on the jetting (a little lean) Has head work, std valves race pipe standard ign and air box. Similar bike in stock condition plus a pipe made 54 rwhp on the track dyno we use. The modified motor made 72+ with no further tuning. I have another rvf to build and checked with Mike to see if he had one more set of Cosworth pistons. He doesn't.
I am very interested in the group buy for 1 set of the 57mm Omega pistons.

Hey guys, sorry to be absent from the forum. I've learnt my mother has a very rare form of cancer so my attention has been taken off the bikes of late, the poor VFR is in pieces and making zero headway right now... and several planned purchases have been put on hold.

I am however still up for the piston group buy, and if folks could all please reply to the thread and CONFIRM they are interested AND have sent an email to Sarah indicating their interest, I'll try and wrap things up for the +2mm pistons.

This is for +2mm Pistons ONLY. Seems interest for +1 might take a bit longer to get the #'s.

If you haven't yet, email info@omegapistons.com and indicate you are interested in the pistons. Let them know you want 57mm pistons with 13.5:1 compression ratios. I'll email Sarah and confirm later this week.

57mm Sets @ £95.00 each + VAT including rings, pins and clips

Hi, I got this reply back from Sarah today. Not sure if she is thinking the group buy, or there is a change in policy. It reads to me like she is talking about 12 pistons min. Isn't the order now for 24 pistons?
Hi Jim,

"Unfortunately, our minimum order quantity has been increased to 12 pieces since Omega Pistons have taken over Accralite.
Can you accept 12 pieces?
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information."
Kind regards
Miss Sarah Lambert
