[midnightjoker27]

hey guys i was wondering if 05 plastics and headlight will bolt onto an 03 or do i need to modify stuff

[CJM]

Gonna need some brackets welded on for the front plastics/headlight. Otherwise it will fit.

Cuz I run a bar pad and i've got all my stock key and indictor lights but i bought this http://www.modquad.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=782&products_id=1390 its a good product but over priced and a guy could probobly make one but it wouldn't look as good.

I love their Fat bar clamp. You get to retain the neutral,reverse lights and has a place for the key switch.

I like knowing if I hit neutral or if I'm in reverse.

[powerbomb400]

88mm is what the box said. So I'd say that the piston would be that size. The bore would be bigger since you have the rings and you sure don't want the piston hitting the cylinder wall.

Looked at Wiseco's website and they said 88mm=426cc.

[powerbomb400]

I'd have to mic one. The piston would be slightly smaller than the bore. A friend of mine owns a shop and I've watched him bore a cylinder to fit the piston.

The piston tolerances are often smaller than the actual measurements. In alot of cases the rings take up that extra few thous of an inch.

Thats why they just cant bore your sleeve for say 86mm.
