Fair call, LM, but the idea of an extra 25cc's is fairly appealing........ Remember, this is a CA72, not CA77.........

Any idea what the difference is? If it's not too much I may just be able to skim the head......

Slightly off-topic, I find it a little unusual that the CB72 would have lower compression pistons - Or was the head different?

OPPSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big mistake on my part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The DREAM (250) are for sure less compression.
To install the CB/CL72 pistons will raise the compression and should be no problem.
I do have the CB/CL72 pistons here. ..........emo

Thanks heaps, LM, that makes me feel much better.........

As above, the pistons I have are CB72 items, 3mm oversize, so I'll gain 25cc in size, plus a bit of compression......! Will hopefully give me a touch more power & torque...... Always appreciated!
