Re: Who sells piston rings?

Haha, Motobins also only has one set! I'll give it a few days and see if anyone restocks

Who sells piston rings?

Looking to order new rings for my stock bore '75 R90/6.

Was planning on ordering from EuroMotoElectrics but they only have 1 set available right now.

Re: Introduction and a few gasket kit questions

Thanks Rob. Excellent, very useful advice on the "year of the bike". I like what you said about the "must have upgrades". I must admit I did fall for that a bit with the electronic ignition. I do think the charging system upgrade was valid though. I never tested it since I haven'...

Re: Introduction and a few gasket kit questions

Thanks y'all. After more online searching and such it seems as though I will just use the metal base gaskets (with sealant) as my model/year doesn't use either the large cylinder jug o-ring nor the small o-rings on the top 2 studs.
