Keith Black flat top piston set is .040 oversize with a 8.9:1 compression ratio for 1988-up XL 1200cc Evolution models.

The Keith Black KB295 .040 1200cc Piston Set .040 Oversize is made from a hypereutectic alloy cast in a permanent steel mold. This construction supports a lightweight piston design intended to make more power, use less fuel, and provide extended service life. The pistons are .040 oversize for a 3.498-inch bore and provide a 9:1 compression ratio.

The alloy’s low heat transfer helps keep the skirts cooler, minimizing piston expansion. Combined with high compression ring placement, this design supports increased power and economy. High ring placement also helps reduce detonation and increases top ring temperature.

New pistons and rings should be properly broken in. Run the engine at moderate speeds for at least 500 miles and avoid excessive operation in lower gears during the break-in period. Installation instructions are available in the Keith Black Piston Installation Guide referenced in the product data. Brand: Keith Black. Part number: KB295 .040. Unit of measure: set. Country of origin: Mexico.
