Wiseco custom makes them for Carls Cycle. That is where HTG gets them. I have the box with part numbers on them. I can post them if you want. I think they were $189 each IIRC.
Would you please post the part # or PM me.
Do you have the contact number for wiseco?
Just call 800-321-1364

Don... before you get all excited... I'm pretty sure you cant buy them directly... and unless you have a 975 from Carls... they wont sell you them either....
HTG might and that would be your best place to try, IMO.
The 975 is more than just a piston and bore package....
What are you tryring to do?

Called HTG few times with no reply ... left message
I bought an used HTG 975 kit with cylinders / VES , gaskets , head, and reprogrammed CDI box.
So I need the pistons/rings,c clips, wrist pin.
Have yet to get kit so not sure if they need a renicasil.

The upper case also needs to be changed/machined on the 975. Atleast it does on the 06. Not sure about on the 05 since it only has 2 injectors.

Is it the same for 2005? 2005 needs to be machined?

I was told that it needs to be machined so that when the piston comes down it clears the injectors. Are the injectors on an 05 in the cylinders or in the upper case?
B
yes the 05 has to be clearenced too. that is what rob told me before i did my 05, so i shipped him my upper case half. i think it has more to do with the bigger bore and the piston skirt hitting the case. he said it was a 15 minute job and he sent instructions with the kit on what to do incase i didn't want to send in my case. i said heck with that for the same money he might as well do it
the injector clearence issue is you have to put a couple of washer under the fuel rail to hold the injectors out a little bit so the piston skirt don't hit them.

Is there a way to get a copy of the instructions from you?
B
I sure can send you a copy as soon as i get it. I haven't got my kit back yet
only been 2 weeks he said 3- 4 weeks.

Don,
I just talked to rob, I should have my kit back in 2 weeks. and you can get pistons from him or he says carls cycle around 160 each.

The part number on the box is 10065M08800. It says under that Carl's Cycle; Polaris 900 88.00mm. It is a Wiseco Forged piston.
If they are $160 that is cheaper than they were last year from carls, I called and they were $189 each. I may order a spare set just in case.

Talked to wiseco and they made two sizes 88 and 87 mm for 975.
Also they just made some 88.5 mm for the DRAGON RMK.
Another company also talking or talked to Wiseco about a piston of this size.
Not sure if ever made for Hot Seat Performance or HTG.
Minimum order for us to buy them from Wiseco 12 costing each $180 with rings, c clip, wrist pin.
Piston would be hard anozied
Skirt coating moly based is $12 per piston extra required for all runs you.
Runs are 12 , 24 , 50 and 100 pistons or more for price.
Takes 4 weeks to build.

HTG may have them in stock too.
CAlled Carl's a while back and they had them in stock.
Plus they have the 87 , 88 ands 88.5 pistons from wiseco.
Don...what ever happened to the 975 kit you were working on...
also can you explain the info above to me more...
are the pistons NOT coated already?
and what do you mean by runs? and what are the numbers?
i am building a carls 975 this summer...and i need 2 pistons...
