    I was wondering if anyone knew of any piston kits available for a 1982 XJ 750. i've been looking for a forged piston kit, standard or oversized, and have not been able to find anything. If anyone knows of any outfits selling a aftermarket pistons could you tell me. thanks

    I have a NOS Wiseco big bore kit for the Seca 750. I am pretty sure if that will work for your Maxim but you would need to verify . It includes pistons, pins, proper head gasket and ring set. I am missing four of the eight oil rings from the ring set. (the ones that go above and below the oil spacers) PM an offer if interested. Ohterwise headed for ebay as I have decided to not use it. I also have a used cylinder with standard pistons and rings that looks ready to go. It was cleaned and there is a honing pattern on the inside of the jugs. My intent was to bore that cylinder to the Wiseco set. I dont know the history of the donor engine. I bought it a couple years ago on Ebay

    I was lucky enough to find a NOS Wisco big bore kit on eBay, If that fails- my XJ750 police special was fitted with XJ900 std pistons so i know the 750 jugs will bore out to that size no problems.
    Those Wisco big bore kits are as rare as rocking horse poo, still got yours usehername?

    Dudes, If your really serious about bigger pistons,contact JE pistons. They will make you anything you want. You just have to have the specs they need. Minimum order is 4 pistons. If you need different gaskets,Head or base contact Cometic gskts. Same deal. They'll need specs too. I usually just send them a sample and tell them what thickness I need.
    If someone needs help with ordering just get in contact with me on this site and I'll try to walk you through. Usually the sales reps are pretty helpfull.
