"Cheap" Commando pistons?

Forums

They are £99 inc VAT & post in the current VMCC catalogue AND they're Hepolites! Just a bit cheaper than others. I wish Dommie pistons werethat price!

I'm not yet a member, but VMCChave quitea few bits & pieces and when you consider that their prices are all-inclusive many are very reasonable. E.g. £108 total for an alternatorstator & rotor - that's a "show" price.

Incidentally, what looks to me like a reverse mega silencer (Sorry, I'm not a Commando owner and have never ridden one) they call a "Peashooter" - £64.

Just thought I'd pass it on in case you hadn't discovered them.

Cheers, Lionel

The VMCC "shop" is nothing but a retail outlet for W.E.Wassell, so most of the goods are sourced in the far East and India. The trademark "Hepolite" was recently purchased by Wassell and is now used to pack Far East pistons in nostalgic "Hepolite" look-alike boxes.

I am not surprised the prices are "reasonable", but whenever something is very "reasonable" you should be aware this may be because the materials/quality may also be "reasonable". If you want better than "reasonable" you should insist on Genuine Norton Factory Parts- but these tend to be, admittedly, more realisticly priced.
