Where do they get those helmets?!.
I've been told. Dreaming`s free.
Think I'll go, back to sleep.
Everybody listen, voices in my head
Everybody listen, do yours say, what mine says?
You learn something new every day.

I have a Bell Star 120 like that from about 40 years ago. Was made in response to the complaint that a regular Bell Star was limited peripheral vision, so this one has 120 degrees peripheral
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Here is a pic of the small end pin after around 10 dyno sessions in the TM engine with full cover Torlon caps.
I was way too scared of destroying a customers engine to go any further with that setup.
Now I can get enough caps CNC'd and have them laser welded into 5 pins for under $200NZD , cheap for the performance gain , and reliable.
Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.
Foul stroke Ex valves have sodium? Filled hollow stems in some applications for heat dissipation.
May be a good wristpin solution?
DT , the torlon caps I made ( Kentastic actually ) were held in by the clip and covered the pin hole completely.
But yours colour up , and dont fail ?
The tophat welded pins allow lube into the piston pin bearing surface - and show no heat issues at all , plus identical power.
No other difference , so I can only assume for some reason the TM Vertex piston does not have sufficient rear lube entry ( sounds rude , sorry ).
As I said I aborted the Torlon tests as destroying a customer engine isnt really an option - giant blouse I know.

I have a few photos saved of what appears to be a pin failure possibly propagated by the plugs. Also an interesting method to secure them. Looks almost like a pin holding them in.
I was thinking about torlon, but had an 'way out there' thought.
In modern brakecalipers in often american cars, the pistons are made from some sort of plastic material
Wouldn´t it be able to take the heat as wristpin plugs?
I suppose brake caliper pistons will get hotter than piston pins, so they should be able to take the heat, but taking the heat is no problem for Torlon either;
the problem seems to be with the pins themselves, and using a different synthetic plug material won't change that.
