In repairing my 1984 air-cooled 500 I'll first need a useable cylinder I can fit to a new piston. But while waiting to source a cylinder I need to understand what piston I can use in it. I see where KawiMan indicates a '88 thru '04 will work and thats certainly good news for me, but are there stipulations doing this?
I'm confused because I see single ring, double ring, domed, flat top crown for various years. Then I see the OEM part numbers are all over the place. Then on Ebay I see some options...... some old new stock Rocky Dist. aftermarket cast pistons and Wiseco's forged pistons they list for '88 thru '02.
I don't want to get involved in modifying the head or cylinder. What are my options.
Thanks, dave
