I think they will fit. I was entertaining the thought of putting 29 pistons in my 30, but never did it. I know for a fact that the valves won't fit.

I saw one guy fitted rvf pistons to NC23 for better compression. Not sure about NC29. I wrote Mike from G-Force and he responsed that he can made 55mm bore with compression 13.5:1 ( against 11.5:1 in stock bore.)

yeah, its kinda what im looking for but aparently the exhaust valves just touch the vfr piston but i wasn't 100%, need some more info about the clearences. also hp gains?

its either i stick with the cbr for next season do a few performance mods and suspension work to try and compete with the zxr's hp or buy a zxr throw a ram air kit on it and work the suspension. im not looking for a hp monster that i can just power around people down the straight just enough to level the playing field.

as far as I am aware the last of the 29s came with RVF pistons as standard.

I have RVF pistons in mine and also a skimmed head but thats all I can tell you...I didnt build the engine but it goes well.

ok thanks, so there must be a bit of clearence to spare if you got the head skimmed. unless they modified the piston crown.

and is it deffinently RVF pistons instead of VFR?

thanks.
