IMD piston kits for the Honda CBX 1047 are far superior than other cast pistons available from other
suppliers.
I have been boring motorcycle cylinders for over 40+
years and have seen many different piston suppliers have offered in the past.

Wide offer of usefull items for classic motorbikes repair shops or owners.
Good is dispatch by post into EU. Lead time need to be taken into account.

Hi Peter,
Very well said.
We supply lots of EU customers, however the delivery time is always the most frustrating part.
For any customers who need parts in a hurry, they can get in touch with us to discuss express options.
All the best with the build,

Shipping issue corrected by management.

At first I didn't receive my piston, and I was having issues contacting the company. However after getting in touch, management was more than happy to rectify the issue. They sent a second piston to me. The fact that they took a personal interest and tried their best to rectify the issue is awesome.

Hi Patrick,
I am sorry to hear that the parcel hasnt arrived.
You selected the standard shipping, which was $12, to the US, from the UK.
This service, reflected by the price, is not an express option, and it is out of our control what happens after the goods are shipped.
I have checked on our records and cannot see an email from yourself, if you have in fact sent a request to us, please let me know.
We are dealing with Google at the moment as they are refusing to change our address at the moment, we are open for business and are NOT closed at all.
I am more than happy to send a replacement piston out to you, as we do this for any customer who faces delays or missing items.
I will send you an email directly to address this, and once again I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Kind Regards
IMD

1972 Suzuki GT 550 triple
I have a 1972 Suzuki GT 550 triple and I was having trouble looking for pistons with the 1 mm overbore. I come across IMD pistons and found that they had them and they were an excellent price shipping was very reasonable and I got them within two weeks. This company is top-notch 100% excellent!!! The quality of the pistons are better than OEM and also came with boring instructions , for boring out the cylinders. Once again these guys are top-notch and I highly recommend them and they definitely deserve five stars if not more! Ty IMD !!!!!!!
