I'll always bleed Sox red and piss Bruins gold, but life is too short and I desperately needed a change of scenery.  8 months so far in sunny, snow free SoCal.  Best months in a long while.

  NICE !  Good for you Boggy, So you missed the polar voltexes and Nor'easters  ?....  What a shame  ::)

Hey Glassshouse, Is that a Ural in the garage? Tell us about it. I'm a big fan, & miss mine.
Best Wishes, Craig McClure

  Glasshouse !?  he..he..he.   You have a good Eye. But no sir, close it's a Cj750 OHV. And I don't blame ya for missing it. They are a hoot to ride and built like a tank,oval framed, reverse gear, stone simple and reliable as a rigid pipe wrench......

Hi, fooled me I couldn't see enough of it. It is a beauty!  Seems I remember hearing about it before, you inherited it from your brother.
  Incidentally, those Chinese CJ HEADLIGHT RIMS can be made to work on a Royal Enfield using a 7" reflector. I have one on my G5 deluxe, & used one on my last Ural. They are on Ebay sometimes.
  Thanks for sharing!
Best Wishes, Craig McClure

 Thanks .... and ummmmmmm  ? That is a good idea . Instead of the "eyebrows" that slide under the outer ring.  I like it !  I may have to try swapping them , and see how it looks on the Enfield.

  Here we go again ! :o     Domed forged 500cc AVL/UCE piston.  Lets see ?   I think this go around... first. We will use all the previous engine mods, but  replace the forged AVL piston with this one. And use a stock head....mildly worked. And see how it does ?

Ok.  Now you know some of us would like more information than this.....      Like when said piston plans on making it's new home, and who it's mom and dad are?      ;D      ;)

You know that Gorilla and ScooterBob wouldn't put up a CNC generated pic of something they were thinking about maybe wanting to try and see if they could make  ;) ...... That's the real deal right there - and IF it survives some severe Celtic abuse, then a feller may keep one of the little slugs in his very own cylinder  ;D ........

  Soon Scottie !   Just got the pistons the other day. A few are on there way out to the Tundra, so the Earl of swirl can scrutinize and checkerize...  ;D   A little fitting in the jug, and a little cleaning up the head.   Not to long.

     Obviously, looking at these three pistons.... stocked dish, flat top forged AVL and the new forged domed deal.  Higher compression is the goal. And to work with the stock chamber.  A little more simple and practical approach this time.   Without the extensive welding up , resizing and reshaping of the chamber.  Sort of , address the bottom of the chamber and leave the top alone.
