I researched the Wiesco pistons last September. I picked up them up, made to the specs Ken mentioned. I remember being very happy with the price they gave me, which escapes me at the moment. Wiesco was very nice to deal with. From what I understand, Chris at TU is carrying them now.

These pistons/rings have less than 25k on them and i guess its common for venolias to have some ring sealing issues?? plugs are light brown and i still get gas in the oil.
maybe i just have bad rings and a good replacement set will work better? i dont know... just throwing out my 2 cents.
I'm curious...what type of oil are you using?

Gotta say Im happy with the Venolias. If I to pick a different piston, Wiseco would be a nice piston also.

I just picked up a set of Wiseco 2.2 pistons from Chris @ TU. They're shiny. Can't wait to have them inside the engine.
