So I'm looking at a TS125 piston or an RM125S piston, I'd expect the RM piston to be more acommodating for extra boost ports.

rm125s pistons and rings are like hens teeth to buy but rm125m are still plentyfull last time i went checking ebay for parts for them and the m is a 6 transfer port cylinder like the s is sooo the pins in the ring lands might be in the right position.

John the best thing you could do for that type of racing is increase the stroke(easy peasy) run a longer rod with the full reed motor. Rod swaps are not easy due to the 19mm crank pin.

Which motor are you thinking of? They didn't go to a full reed until the '82 watercooled.

Was thinking of the water cooled engine.
