Re: Suzuki 190

I've had a TV cylinder bored to take a 66mm piston, the walls were a bit thin, but I ran it in very carefully and all was well.
The maximum I've had a 150 cylinder out to was 64mm with the Suzuki piston, again all good.

Re: Suzuki 190

Had a couple of 190 conversions,one with a 150 barrel bored out,and one with a Tv175 barrel,both went very well,but the Tv barrel had the edge.
