I thought you was going to use the 88-04 piston kit???????? What happen?  :? Dude am telling you that they will work just fine same piston skirt profile but a second ring added. My 87 runs great with the newer pistons. If Kawasaki doesn't offer the stock 87 than you will have no choice but the use the new pistons or watch e-bay for some old dealer stock.

Aroulette, Hughes has a very clever answere in your other post on this same issue.

Refer to that post for more info on this. I'll close this, but PM me if you need it open for some other reason.
