Potential Group Purchase - Wiseco GS650 741cc pistons

[Chuck78]

Oh yeah let's get 7+ people intetested to get the price down! If we can get it down to $95 for piston that would make it much more doable for me. The wife told me today no spending money even though it was for her bike! So I guess I have to sell the 650 pistons and cylinders that I have that are good standard bore, and the original Morris Mag wheel off the Rickman that I don't have a match for or desire to run a 2.15 X 18 skinny rear... getting creative with the financing so that this project doesn't put me out any.


No, not selling that head gasket. There is the one I linked still for sale for $44.95, same part # (w3165?), photo is just a default head gasket photo, not the actual product.

[Chuck78]

Can you give me Al's phone number and extension, so that I can contact him when it comes time to do the 475cc gs425 racer and the 894cc GS750 engine for the Rickman?

I'm hoping they will be willing to re-engineer a 71mm 10.5:1 version of their GS750 69mm 844cc piston, as the guy that had the $680 one-off set of 71mm 894cc 11:1 JE Pistons made lost interest in bikes and never got back to me with his JE order # so that I could re-order the same...
I need 6 of those pistons for the 2 bikes. If I could get 2 other people interested, $500 is a better price than the JE's for sure, but JE are maybe slightly nicer. Can't afford Carillo/CP...

Ha ha I knew you were not going to sell the gasket. I was just trying to be funny. Als number is 4404973105. That's the number he called me with. I will get the other number with the extension tomorrow at work. Do you have any good recruitment ideas? And how we will pool money?

[Ace07]

Hey Chuck here is the number that I called to get ahold of AL 1-800-321-1364 ext: 3105. This is just to make sure I gave you the correct number yesterday. Also I have started a google docs excel spread sheet to keep track of the number of sets of pistons everyone wants. Just to clarify I am considering a "set" 4 piston assemblies, because a bike requires 4 pistons. Here is the count so far:

Chuck78: 1 set
Ace07: 1 set
Tkent02: 1 set

That brings us up to 12 pistons so far, so if you guys know anyone who wants some pistons please have them post on here and I will add their name to the list.

[boontonmike]

I'm in for a set as of now.

[Ace07]

Ok sweet. That puts us up to 16 then. Hey ray are you in for a set?

[Chuck78]

Ray is just one of our resident high performance engine builder professionals, he only has 16v tscc gs1100 engines pretty much, was just commenting on the price

[Ace07]

Oh ok thanks for the info chuck

[Ace07]

what date does everyone want to order the Pistons by? The sooner the better for me, but I also want everyone to have a chance at it.

[tkent02]

I'm in no hurry at all, but I'll go along with what everyone else does.

[Ace07]

Ok does the end of the month sound like a good time to close the polls to everyone?

[Chuck78]

Funding is looking tighter than planned, so later than that would be welcomed by me and make it more of a possibility.

[tkent02]

Me too.

[Ace07]

Sorry for the late reply guys. I am fine with waiting because I have alot of other things that still need to be done to the bike. Are you guys thinking a month out, 2 months, 6 months? I dont mean to sound pushy or anything, I just a excited about the project.

[boris.h]

Hi from France! Possible to ship them for me? I'm building a 550 / 650 swap, could they also work for me?? thanks!
