About a month or so ago I was looking on the internet and found a Japan based company that had some very inexpensive parts for older Japanese bikes. It wasn't Cruzin Image. They had a better assortment of engine parts for smaller bikes. I thought I saved it in favorites but apparently I didn't. I tried searching history but no luck.

I'm hoping someone on here can help me out wit a name or web page.

Thanks. Wasn't Webike but I added it to favorites. Sumorubber is a new one to me but it looks like they have a lot of things I can spend money on.

Wasting time on 2T forums since the dawn of the internet. '89 TDR250, '13 300xcw, '23 300xcw, '24 Street Triple RS, '56 Porsche 356A, '88 325is.  Too many toys.

Speaking of Cruzin Image, I've had great service from them until my most recent order.  I bought a set of KH400 stock bore (57mm) pistons and two weeks later I received a box with 53mm pistons.  I sent a total of five messages to Mitsuo (I guess he's the owner).  I even translated a message from English to Japanese to see if I'd get a reply.  Finally after about two weeks he replied, asking me to return the pistons for a refund.  I mailed the pistons and asked him to send me the correct set instead of a refund.

I'll update this post when I get the result.  There have been many other parts I've ordered from Cruzin Image in the past and they were the correct products at great prices.

I never did find the site I was looking for but you guys gave me some new places to try for parts. I ended up ordering a Namura piston form eBay for the DT125. It was inexpensive and they had good reviews. There were some under $10 made in China piston kits on there too, I may be cheap but I didn't go there.

ive never had a bad part from cruzin image, hell, have their pistons in my t500.

I have had a namura beak in half though, on break in 10+ yrs ago. I think i just got a dud piston, there was a casting flaw.

They didn't have much for the DT125, I did order the clutch plates from them though.

Namura are basically $10 pistons, thats why they were always included in all the chinese cheepie cylinder kits.
I got a brand new set on a parts motor I bought. The wrist clip pins could be bent out of shape with my fingers and the rings straightened without breaking. So it all went in the trash. cant say I have ever really seen any good reviews either.

"I got a brand new set on a parts motor I bought. The wrist clip pins could be bent out of shape with my fingers and the rings straightened without breaking."
I took your advice and decided to put the Namura piston back on eBay. I ordered a ProX piston for the project.
