[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 51800, member: 60"] Done it myself. Almost like Triumphs the best road bikes to ride have lower compression ratios so if you bought a high comp and wanted to lower it (In my case an ex racer engine) just stick some compression plates in it surprising how the Volume in CC increases for modest plate thicknesses. Back in the lean years low pistons may not have been available for the bore so plates were another way to get where you need to go in terms of CR once you find the joy of low compression on the next re bore get some lower comp pistons the lean years are over.
