Neither are stock, and both are great desert bikes.

I know wiseco offers some..  Better than oem??

Im just afraid to get a bearing that has been crashing in a warehouse box for years at kawasaki, and then man handled by the monkeys at my dealership.. (most likley crashing around in the same box I ordered my rod with)...

I have had good luck with Weisco stuff.   I would get the modded piston with the window.

I am afraid it is hard to find much anymore that is not made in China.  Not sure of wiesco bearing source.

Impressive that the cage underwent such severe deformation without coming apart. 

I have seen very few wrist pin bearing failures ... but we always tried to run OEM at the shop. 

Truthfully, aside from some of the exterior cosumables (sprockets, chain, bars, etc.) it is hard to beat OEM - IMHO.

Got mine from wiseco but indirectly, so it was baning around in a box for a while.
