Navigator Pistons +20

Forums

Hello,

took my barrel away to be checked for rebore, I hoped a +10 would have done as there is a pair in the shop, however it looks like a +20 is needed. Does anyone know where I can get these, or have a pair for sale.

I may have a spare pair of second hand ones but am not sure of the size? Or are you looking for new?

Thanks Dan, I was looking for new if I can get them. If I am stuck I can get .030 but would prefer to leave as much material as I can.

My advice is get the 30s, I doubt you'll do enough miles for it to need another rebore! Pistons are getting hard to find, it was hard enough back in the 70 s!

looking more and more that way, as well as being available the +30s are hepolite. Think my mind is made up..

Is this for a pair or a piece?

I am also looking for pistons

I don't know, hopfully a pair, because they don't state left/rigth.

Thought so! You could try and negotiate? It seems nonsense to charge the same price for a piston for a bike worth 5 times as much.

There are some that appear on eBay from the Far East for about the same money, I tried to reason with them but got no reply, so left them alone.

The cost of rebuilding a Jubilee or Navigator is now getting serious - probably the same or even more than for a Commando or Dominator and good useable parts are in short supply. Twenty years ago £300 bought you a running Jubilee with a transferable registration number worth more and even today a rebuilt machine with all new bits still only fetches small money. So spend only what you think makes good sense.

Do new Hepolite pistons still turn up at the English autojumbles?
