    Please help- big bore kit on Amazon too cheap to believe

    I couldn't believe the price, so please tell me if a Wiseco K1100 kit means "4 pistons/rings/pins and headgasket." or 1 single piston kit.


    I believed it to be "whole motor kit" because head gasket is included.

    from the ad:

    Wiseco (K1100) 73.5mm 10.25:1 Compression Ratio 4-Stroke Motorcycle Top End Piston Kit


    Ships from and sold by


    Estimated Delivery Date: Wednesday, Sept. 23 when you choose Two-Day Shipping at checkout.


    • Fits: Suzuki GS1000 1978-81
    • Dedicated forgings are used for superior strength to weight ratio utilizing aerospace alloy with a dome designed for improved flame travel and detailed skirt shape and profiles for stability and smooth operation in the cylinder bore
    • Compared to cast pistons, forgings are tougher and more durable, and will stand up to the abuse that high performance motorsport applications require
    • Each Wiseco piston is designed with the proper installed clearance to produce the most power, least wear, and best seal at running temperature, for each application
    • 73.5mm bore; 10.25:1 compression ratio; total displacement 1100cc; includes head gasket

        Most of the lower price kits are single piston replacements.

          I had to censor the link until I after purchased... for $89. Since I got the last one, there is no longer a link to share. Sorry.
          the listing said "list price $664 save 87% "
          EVERY store selling a K1100 is a 4-hole kit, single pistons are sold by part #.
          so they really screwed up the description... or the price. I hope its the latter. Will have to wait until it arrives to see.

              Because then they have the opportunity to pull the sale, correct the price and re-post it.

                  dang it !!! they cancelled the order..
                  " I went to process your order and found that we just sold out of your item. Our supplier indicated they had the item and so we ordered the item with them. Unfortunately, we have learned that they have also sold out and cannot fulfill the order. It is Amazon policy that we cannot have your order in the system if we cannot fulfill it. I sincerely apologize but I have gone ahead and cancelled the order for you so that you can be refunded right away. "

                  well... it was too good to be true...

                    Been searching for days... looks like I'm going to "cruzinimage" for 1100cc kit @ $140. found many other s tried and liked them. One guy has installed 20 sets and no problems.

                    Any reason I should stay away? ( other than "unknown track record" ?)
