Later 392 K7 pistons to get some extra CR?
Looks like it. That was a "hop up mod" in 1980. :)
Today you can take the CB750 DOHC stock-bore pistons and cut a 1/2" flat around their outer edge (of the crown) to clear the valves, and net a 9.6:1 CR in the early heads (with a 1.0mm overbore, first).

Are you saying the dohc pistons into the sohc? Are you doing this mod? I didn't see it on the website.

No, CB750 K7  sohc.
F and K8 used same pistons stamped 392 as their heads. Not F2/F3.

Sorry, Steve-o. This bike was previously nominated and voted on last month: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,183561.0.html

I usually work on one bike per year.
Due to the virus four this year, two CB750, two Z1.
I will sell some next year.

Apparently.

Oh, you can't hear them?  They have lots to say if you listen before painting.
I like to know the history.
The Z1 had a 83 Pennsylvania plate, parked in 1983, no history on others.
