[TR] 89mm pistons & liners

[Allen Hess]

I haven't purchased any yet. The BPNW page has a Powertune logo with  
the British flag, though I can't find them on the web.

Moss doesn't say where they are made but the description and image of  
the piston is very much the same.

I didn't know BFE also made a set until Marty Sukey mentioned it.

Do you plan to use yours for the street?
