Title: Vertex Vs Wiseco Pistons ?????
Post by: Hoony on November 27, 2007, 04:59:18 pm

anyone tried Vertex Pistons?

i have run Wiseco pistons in my CR's for 20 years and been happy with them, the vertex is $77 cheaper than the Wiseco for my CR500. any one tried them?

Also anyone tried and LA Sleeve? $ 224 for my bike (its on last oversize)

Thanks Lozza & holeshot, Vertex it is then.

OEM Honda pistons are still available but i reckon the original Honda pistons are crap.

Ian Williams Tuning in Adelaide recommends Vertex instead of Wiseco in  CR 500's. Also Wossner are pretty good. im gonna try one of those.

used LA sleeves in four strokes before and had no issues with them.
