Moriwaki pistons

[8541Hawk]

For anyone wondering or wanting to live vicariously Here is what Mr Moriwaki came up with for a VTR piston.
First I still need to weight them but there is no real noticeable difference in weight between the stock piston and the Mori piston. My guess is to minimize the need to re-balance the engine but that is just a guess.
I plan on having mine re-balanced but that is one advantage of pulling it all the way down.

anyways on to the good stuff:

The underside with the stock on the top....not hard to guess.....



and the business end again with the stock on the top:

On to the side view:

Here you can see the skirts are quite a bit different:



A better view of the upper bit:



and a different angle of the skirts...who doesn't like a skirt shot :



That's it for now....off to look at airbox mods.....
