I had considered this (grinding the pin) as the difference is minor on the face of things, but Paul from Tyga informed me that indeed there is a difference between the pins from the '16 and later models that they were not aware of. In the end, I have bought new pistons that will suit the new pins and rings I have, as well as the old MC16 barrels. Hopefully I can get more mileage out of the bike before the next rebuild this way, but as to if those ks are worth the extra $225...
Trying to get my head around this one... surely the better option would've been to get the other type of pins, or even have ends of the original ones ground down a few mm? Much less costlier!
You got to do the mileage now outta' principal!
