    I plan to take my 81' 450E up to 500E cyl/pistons;which member already did this ?

    I live in a 2nd floor apartment and on a tight budget;I can't actually restore a bike here(I put my unrestored 83' GS750ES into storage for now)because I don't have a shop and I'm working in a parking space,but limited work is ok,sometimes. I've got to work within the rules of the place and I have a nosy karen neighbor.
    I've just got a decent 81' GS450E(it's been sitting for a while.. but it is registered to me)from a guy who purchased it at a charity auction.
    I plan on swapping-in a GS500E cylinder and stock/oem pistons;I would like to find some NOS or aftermarket pistons/rings that will work good,considering the crappy gasoline out here,I want to keep CR below 10:1.

    I remember reading a few years ago on here of a member who did this swap project but I can't find it. Does anyone have a link ?
