    Grandson has a 74 Cr125 with a later 175 GP engine. Was getting kind of slow so we pulled the top end and the piston is worn. Also checked the bore and it's at 64mm which is bigger than any of the overbore pistons I can find.
    Anyone got any idea where I can find a bigger piston?

    The standard size of a 75-76 175 is 61mm, those and 1st over come up fairly often on eBay. I would not hold out much hope for a 64mm or larger.
