Hi, Mark. I ran a Deanspeed one when my SR barrel was first taken out to 64 but the rings wore the bore out really quickly. After MB tuned the barrel, I ran a Racetour 65mm for something like 7 or 8000 miles without any problems. MB matched the head to the piston. As far as I know the Racetour is still in the engine.

My underkick fresco was well suited to the tune and the TM24 Mikuni

And what project is this for, mate?

suzi piston kits from Beedies only 39 quid. Quality rings and 4 oversizes .. but I'm sure you know this already. The 2nd incarnation of the enduro racer used this set up with a 25mm phbl and under kickstart fresco, ran great.
