    You might be able to get a set of piston that are oversized but you will more than likely have to have them specifically made. Most of the major upper end companys can make a custom set of pistons, Viola, for example. I do not think it would be worth the money to have them made though. Would more than likely run you more for the pistons than purchasing a good used motor.
    Might want to check in on having your head shaved if you are looking for a little bit extra. this would decrease you combustion chamber volume thus increasing your compression ratio. In essence a poor mans bore. Remember thought that this does increase combustion pressures and can cause alternative problems if other details are not paid attention to.

    I know cheapcycleparts.com lists them available for the 650s. Stock, 1st and 3rd oversize if I recall correctly.
