Re: pistons and cam

James,
You see them come up on ebay pretty often...usually in oversizes. Also
any "ART" NOS aftermarket pistons are good, they were the OEM supplier
for Honda.
Do a Google search for "vintage Honda Parts" and it will turn up a few
good places.

By far the fastest CB160 racing with AHRMA was torn down last year at Daytona, and found to be completely legal. Make no mistake, however - Denny rides the...

He won the year before, and ever year before that for about a dozen years. He finished 2nd on Monday, but also won Tuesday. Yes, I think there was a friendly...

Wow...I wouldn't consider any tear down of my bike "friendly". About four hours of work (including reassemble), $30 head gasket, valve cover gasket, breaking a...

I don't think it was an official tear down, he was opening his motor after the race and the race director just sat down and watched to see what was in there....

That sounds reasonable....I know I have my open often enough :) But if they didn't do careful bore and stroke measurements it wouldn't address displacement...
