[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1402890, member: 104942"] As these things are prone to play out, I now have 4 Weisco pistons on the way. The first was complete (rings and circlips) but WAY oversize. So it would do. Then another auction popped up with three other pistons (one 1mm over, two 1.5mm over) but that had various missing bits (rings, circlips). Enough to get one of the three pistons going though, and I'll start hunting matching rings. The price was right even if I only end up using one of the pistons... and now my cylinder guy can just cut until he is down to bare metal everywhere and start with the smallest possible piston. I got the stator (well, rotor) off as well, and that was where a lot of the rumbly noises were coming from. Little metal shavings were bumping the steel cores the stator coils are around. No damage fortunately. I'll pop off the clutch gear on the other side, and see if it still rumbles then, and look at the seals. No play anywhere, so I might not have to split the cases yet. There was a little oily residue under the stator cover. More just oily dirt stuck to the bottom, no puddle, and not slung all over the chamber. So if there is a leak in that seal, it's a little one. And based on the inside of those covers, this bike really does only have about 2000 miles on it. It's just a baby! :) Any suggestions for cheap front fenders for the thing? I don't mind fabricating or welding parts up, I just want something cheap that looks reasonably period correct. Though perhaps with those metal fenders, "period correct" meant ripped off and rusting in the woods somewhere, which is how it's set up now! :) [/QUOTE]
