Jap pistons

Does anyone know of a catalouge or data base of jap pistons that lists diameter, pin size position of ring pegs and if there are reed valve windows.

Re: 54mm stroke cranks

54mm stroke cranks

Hi, It seems alot of people are putting long stroke cranks in their lambrettas. I have read in a 2 stroke tuning manual that going for short stroke has alot of benefits, ie less piston stress, less piston acceleration less piston speed. Has anyone tried using the 54mm crank?

Re: Gear box advice please

Sorry to jump on this thread but is a gp 150 gearbox any good for a tuned scooter? I've heard the gap between 3rd and 4th is quite big.

Re: RB inlet manifold

I hope these new manifolds have longer slots in them to match the length of the reeds? Not like the the standard one. Any one have any idea why it was made like that in the first place?

Podtronic ignition/rectifier

Where can you buy a podtronic stator/ recectifier set up?
Is this the type that spanish serveta used to use? Do you still have a regulated 12volt ac supply or is everything run through the battery?

Mine is 2 pin type relay, take wire from regulator to relay, then up to your handlebar switch then wire from each switch output to each side.
