Hi can anybody recommend A good supplier for a set of standard bore pistons for my GT 550 J also a rough idea how much they should cost . Would consider a secondhand set of standard or over sized if anybody's got some out there cheers Steve

Try Ebay for NOS, aftermarket and used. Best place really unless anyone on here has some which is quite likely.
I bought a set of NOS for a 76 GT550A for about £60.00 with rings last year and used them so they do come up.

Baz has just put Cruzin Image pistons in my chrome bores. Only done 30 miles so far, but they seem fine. Baz ordered them as part of a full rebuild.BATTS wrote:Mitaka have just started manufacturing 550 pistons only standard bore available at the moment, of course Cruizinimage supply a set, many views about CI but I've never had any problems with them. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/72-77-SUZUKI ... ctupt=true

Re: GT550 piston suppliers
Make sure your bores are ok for standard pistons first as pistons should be matched to bores. If you buy new pistons and need the bores reboring, you've wasted a lot of dosh.

Re: GT550 piston suppliers
Just noticed CI has a silly postage price at the moment for pistons (£500!!!) probably means he hasn't got any in stock. They also do .50 and 1.00 oversizes. If you ask him about the postage, tread very carefully he can be very sensitive and has a tendency to block people he decides he doesn't like.
