Quickest shipping......ever????

Finally bought a set of 1st oversize pistons and rings from the guy selling them in Japan...good value indeed at around £83 with shipping costs and he put low value on customs form and invoice inside parcel so no nasty "extras" this end. Paid for them Sunday night and they arrived this morning!!! They look very well machined to boot. Is it always that fast to get stuff from Japan or is it a fluke??????

shipping was fast to get em' out of Japan !! ??
check Simons site for reports on the 400 pistons, compression is well down,

thoroughly check all specs

not read any reports on the running 750 ones, so any info appreciated...

why not /

understood Rob,
i got a reeded bike and was told that 1000 miles on that = 10000 k on a standard, can believe it as you just rev the nuts of em' but 2k miles in' no probs,...

until the big bang
