That's an excellent idea. I shall write to him again and ask for my money. Never doubt the sense of humour of a man on a Ducati. After all he bought a Ducati.
Serjames, I was just notified by Wossner the following. "Hi Thanks for your enquiry. This was a custom made development piston for one of my customers. Somehow the product file became visible on our website. It is not available to order from our website I have now taken it down." So now we know.
Wow, that's a shame. It did look a little too good to be true. Fortunately you have a solution hopefully from a member here. Good luck and send pics when it's back up and running
I hope too it will be done. I will post pictures afterwards. Thank you very much and all the other members for the help. Kind regards Stelios
Tim K, can you please confirm your name in a private message? I received a name to send some money through Paypal, but I don's recognise the name. Thank you
Gents, i have news, good ones. After a long search, in which some of you participated, I finally managed to find a complete piston in very good condition, on the other side of the world, New Zealand. It is a company called ducatispares.co.nz, and Andy there was a very fast and helpful guy. By the way if someone is interested in spare parts from ST4s, they are breaking a yellow one. The only thing I have to do now is patience. Thank you all for your help. Stelios
UPDATE After some time where I "exercised patience", the piston finally arrived from New Zealand. It was in perfect condition, and my mechanic started working on the bike. She fired, up right with the first push of the button, and sounded as healthy as ever. Last Sunday, I took her for a short ride of about 120 Km, and she rode very well. Of course smoke was coming out due to the oil that had accumulated in the exhausts, but at the end of the ride it was almost gone. She needs another longer ride, but the temperatures are not my alliance. And I have to brake it in. I am really happy with the outcome. Thank you all again for your support and help. Ride safely Stelios
Dear Chris, thank you very much for your post. Though the part "seems like some people just like spending money/each to their own as ever.." is not very well understood by me. Let me say it again. I am an old timer, and the humour I understand very well is the one from Monty Pyrthons and from the Faulty towers. Hahahahaha For the contemporary one, I have to make an effort or, ask for assistance (LOL). Stelios
Dear Chris, there seems to be some misunderstanding. I accepted the offer from Tim, and I asked him for his paypal account to conclude this exceptional deal. I was even looking at my paypal account to see if I had any request for money. There was none. Even if the pistons were not usable, the money I would have paid for the post would be minimal. But Tim never responded to my posts, as you can see in posts Nrs 47,51, and 52, and the posts from Sirjames Nr 53 and 55, and from Bigjimmb Nr56, probing Tim to respond to my request. Unless I understood their posts wrongly. To my mind, Tim never got back, and I moved on to find a new item. I never ignored to choose this and pay money elsewhere. Maybe Tim changed his mind and did not want to go on with his offer, which is acceptable of course. What is not acceptable is his silence afterwards. Looking for your comments. If I got it wrong i would be glad to apologise. Kind regards Stelios
