Swapping pistons (2-Stroke)

[husaberg]

What I meant was, if you used rear rods for the front cylinders, you could then put the CR pistons in all three. Use the solid pin in the rear cylinder, use the hollow CR pins (much lighter) in the front cylinders.

Would still take a shitload of balancing, but no-one ever said restoring old bikes was cheap, or easy.

What is wrong with std pistons are they really that unobtainable?

I will post some Honda 2 stroke pistons for you and i have an old cr80 piston in the shed I can measure up for you. The 18mm pin has got me F...ed though.
Are you sure they weren't referring to the outside of the small end being 18mm?
I can't recall the MVX being that vibey std anyway.

Found this here will add the basic old cr80 AC measurements here later but 2 minutes on the net led me here.
