Hello all!
I'm looking for a 836cc kit. Where is the best place to get one?
I found one on the cyclexchange site thats reasonably priced http://www.cyclexchange.net/Honda%20Page.htm
Has anyone had any experience with these guys? it looks like they make some pretty interesting things.
Also curious about jetting or re-carbing and cams for this setup. possible weber carbs?
Someone point me in the right direction!
PS: How about that rain at the chicago Mods Vs Rockers. Wow i got soaked!!

I ordered my set of Wisco Pistons from www.dynoman.net
Good service and price, although it seems they have gone up $100 since I bought mine in 2005.

Thats why i'm asking about them.

While I did not buy a big bore kit from them, everything I have picked up from them has been top notch. Ken has always been more than helpfully on the phone also. Good people in my book!

I got my 836 pistons and some other engine stuff from them "cyclexchange" for mine. Haven't run it yet, but the mechanic seemed impressed with them.

I got my Wiseco pistons from Megacycle camshafts along with cam.

The Cyclexchange pistons are cast unlike the Wiseco ones which are forged.

Why not go with Big Jay and support a fellow board member.

I'd go with the forged piston too.

I did get my cam at Megacycle. My engine builder didn't like the specs on the Cyclexchange ones.

I went to the CBR site and they list valve guides for the SOHC 750.
Would these work in the F head? I'd sure like to keep the ole F head.

What is the difference between the two? Cast Vs Forged?

Forged are stronger. Cast pistons have a tendency to crack fairly easy with detonation where as forged will take alot more abuse.

Why didn't he like it?

I have the cyclex pistons in my bike, no problems. $200? Perfect!!!!!!!! Hell of a nice guy too. Never saw a stock piston break, anyone else?

Something about it being a bit to agressive for a street ride.

Then there is still hope for me

Thanks for that.

cast pistons are fine for a street/very mild race bike.if you are going to get serious about racing,sustained high rpms or using nitrous,turbo things like that,you better go forged.

Don't worry Derek, I ran a very high dose of nitro in a motor with cast pistons once with no ill affect.

It wasn't intensional Mark, the motor had been on methanol for a few years. I deceided to try it on 50/50 but my mate tanked it up from the wrong container. Yes WOW!!!!!!!!

100% nitro. It fired up and ran perfect but wouldn't pull under load

That was way back in 71 but I still have the bike

might try it again one day

dusterdude · « **Reply #21 on:** June 19, 2007, 01:39:59 PM »

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #22 on:** June 19, 2007, 01:46:57 PM »

It made the bike allmost twice as loud and you couldn't breath within 10 foot of it.

Are stock pistons cast or forged?
