    Can't remember where i got mine from as it was on the bike when i got it, although i did have the receipts. The bike was fitted with a weisco 12.5:1 piston and that was too much really bike was way too lively and uncontrolled a real handful but no good for road trials especially with the other bits that was on it

    Don't forget to include import tax and the fall back if it goes wrong or is faulty. A mate of mine bought a gasket set for an xr250 from the states via ebay went to fit them on the bike and only half of them fit the bike. Surprise surprise the place he bought them from is/was NOT responding to emails the one time he did manage to make contact the seller told my mate that he doesn't have an xr250. Now both me and my friend knows who is wrong and it ain't me or my friend.....

    Get big important bits locally don't bo**ox about with ebay and all the other junk shops promising the world
