Thanks Josh......................not sure if you remember or not, but the parts bike I bought from you 4-5 years ago? Well, this is what that project turned into. The original plan was to use that frame, etc. to build what you see, but one thing led to another and long story short, the only part of that bike that was used on this in the end is the title. Everything else was replaced in one way or another, including the frame.

A really nice bike there Joe! Nice looking pipes too! I understand you are running TZ750 cylinders and pistons. No sign of any issues because of the short inlet side piston skirt?
I understand the TZ750 crank turns the opposite direction, making the exhaust side take the thrust loads, instead of the inlet side as on the RD and TZ 250/350.

I can't anwser for Joe but on our race bikes, eventually the pistons have a perfect intake port map from slapping the inlet side hard. That was with 1X2 pistons in a 409-70 set of barrels.

Haven't had any problems yet. I'll dig out the old pistons I took out and take a look at them again and report back but I don't remember seeing anything too noticeable.
