    Hey Tony, I'm about to carry out this mod for my 87 WR250 & have purchased the same piston. What tooling did you use to cut/shape the piston. And has keeping the longer skirt given you any trouble. Thanks Jon

    Hi Jon, the bulk was removed carefully with a grinder, the finishing work was done by hand with a curved metal file.
    It has performed faultlessly for over four years and this bike gets more use than any of the others.

    Thanks Tony! Good to hear, appreciate the quick reply. Hope you have been keeping well. I cooked my 87 WR250 at the recent A3VE, plastic water pump housing got hairline fracture and lost all the coolant, I was totally unaware. Hence the new piston.. Cheers Jon
