Denim:

If you are going to sell the bike....you need to take the cylinder off and see what is wrong.  Maybe you can get by without any oversize piston and cylinder boring if the existing cylinder is good and the piston is just loose or damaged.

Yeah.Just getting a game plan for the worst.Going to tear it down this weekend.Whatever it takes.I just like to make sure they are right.I have a pretty good reputation in my parts for quality builds and stuff I sell.

If it was a keeper.I would put a Wiseco piston in and do the cylinder stuff Lancer does.

do you have the link to the front turn signals and possibly the mount brackets for them to the forks?

Here are the turn signals I use.(They are very Bright too)
I am a V-TWIN dealer.You should be able to get them any aftermarket HD shop.

http://www.vtwinmfg.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?sto...

The brackets are the stock brackets on the front.I made the rear one.Found some hollow tubing at the local hardware store.Bought a tap the is the same threads as the turn signals and tapped threads in it.Welded tabs on to match the fender mounting bolts.

I like the dual elements.On the rears I run them as brake lights on the dimmer side and turn on the brighter side.Along with the regular brake lights.

This bike must have had hard miles put on it.
Piston seems pretty loose in the cylinder.
Piston is  scarred up pretty good.Cylinder doesn't seem too bad.Going to send it out Monday and have it checked to see how big of an over bore I'm going to need.

Maybe run rich, washed the oil off the cylinder,,?

Not so much running rich.But with the float and petcock bad maybe.Good idea,didn't think of that.That makes sense.

If you can get a Wiseco piston for $135 then grab it, that's a deal.  They no longer sell the 97mm size individually.  They can only be purchased in "lots of 12", so that gets a bit pricy.
They do have the 95 & 96mm sizes available, but it got to where I had trouble getting them in a timely manner from them.
I've been using Wossner for while now and they have been dependable and have all 3 sizes available...for $200 each of course.
They sure are "purdy" though.

I found the 95 and 96 on ebay and a couple other places.

Don't be disappointed when the Wiseco arrives and it doesn't have the black coating on it.  That photo is not of the piston you will get for the Savage.

Here is what my 95mm Wiseco looks like next to a stock piston.
