looking to put cast pistons in my 50 pan. right now the bore is 30 over will see if either 40 or 50 will clean it up. any suggestions it will be just used for occasional 2 or 3 hundred miles coffee rides nothing long distance.

 All you need is some 8.5 to 1 premium cast pistons from CCI. inexpensive , easy break in due to the coating on them. Great for an everyday rider or weekend cruiser. If you want a preformance piston I would go with the S&S cast pistons... I don't like the KB pistons, but thats just me...Mule...

I've had good luck with KB's....set 'em up around 1 and 1/4 thousandth piston to cylinder wall clearence.Just a personal preference is all.
