Piston heaven

An early birthday present to dad. A set of Hepolite racing pistons bought from the US.
New Old Stock (NOS)! 



Serious high compression pistons. Note the difference!  Its a big bore (870cc) cylinder block from my spare engine and the new pistons are 750cc hence the generous play.

Cafe trident

Behold the new cafe suit for my triple. Clip-on and grips from LP-W. Raask rear set from Ebay. It handles good and riding position is better than the standard knees in the breeze.
Also installed a new oilpressure gauge. Tick over pressure is about 70 psi (cold) and 60 psi (hot). At 5000rpm it peaks at about 85psi. Pressure builds up fast when engine is started. Really nice to have after a rebuild or  just a oil and filter change.

Enjoy
