Re: [2cylinderhondas] Re: Piston availability

[friend]

I think what Zay is saying is that the pin placement is off center.  The Honda 600 piston's wrist pin size is one issue, the offset in the piston is another.  And, jpro - is also correct.  Correct pistons can be made by EGGE Machine, at www.egge.com .  As others have lamented so eloquently on the voltage regulator $, throw enough money at anything and you can get it made, or have some one sell it to you.
