Don't threaten me with a good time

I have a project in mind for the future and was wondering where some of the blower bike guys have purchased there forged pistons and rods from. Custom made from a manufacturer or cross fitted from another bike or vehicle? Any input would be great, thanks

I've original pistons and 10k miles on the blower... Everything is ok but i am thinking about forged pistons, too. Can someone point us to the right source?

JE has made many sets for me. I still have the build sheets for them.
I still have a set of new corillio rods $$$ they were made shorter so they could put more meat in the dome of the piston. I have a set of flat tops that match the rods.

It is not that simple... Need to know bore, compression ratio, boost... It depends on mileage also... I learned that from JeffK.
I am common rider who bought blown Valk and have no experience with all that stuff... Undecided

IN THE LONG RUN, YOU WOULD BE ALOT BETTER OFF LISTENING TO JEFF K.  HE HAS BEEN FOOLING WITH THE BLOWN VALK VERSION PROBABLY LONGER THAN ANYONE ELSE, AND KNOWS IT BETTER TOO.
