My new vendor will have a longer delivery time because they want to build true forging tooling. This will make the pistons even stronger, and less expensive. The new vendor has made me a few sample sets athat are absolutely outstanding Quality - as they should be. They are the same supplier that makes many OEM pistons that we are familar with, as well as the piston for some well established F-1 Engine builders.

The bigger delay is, I just found our that Yamaha has discontinued the rings I was using from the FZR400. This is really bad news as it means that I don't have a ring for the pistons at this time. I have asked the piston companies of they can make the rings as well. Also, I have something on the works for an alternate solution that I should know for sure about shortly.

So, hang tight. If the new vendor comes through, I can get these piston kits significantly down in price. We shall see.
