I'm considering buying a norman Hyde big bore kit from a mate as he's changed to a Neil Beading kit
The bores and pistons are good but it was smoking like a pig (yep I know it's usual for a triple especially a big bore )
The pistons are basically modified 650 triumph pistons, What's the best rings available?
Particularly the oil control rings

Hastings with a 3 piece oil ring. If you can find them.

It'll definitely be 3 piece oil control rings

His bike ran like a champ apart from the smoke
I'll look into Hastings rings I think I've used them in the past but can't remember now
