I think they're J&E.

Looks like JE but they don`t list any 1000/1100:

I haven`t seen that ring set on the 2 sets JE 904 pistons I`ve used.

And if FbF old price for 904 was 900 bux for JE`s, that was ridiculous....

Awhile back I bought some 92mm J&E's from Powerbarn at a very reasonable price. They had 94's too.
JE 904/944 pistons currently for $285 at Powerbarn.

About the same I paid from Chris CC.

So it's a good price then. [thumbsup] Those were the days when Chris had everything. He's keeping many older bikes on the road with his Exactfit parts.

Mailed FbF, answer:
My design, made in US by company that makes for F1, Stock Car; dragster and motorcycles for 70 years, forged pistons.

To me, they llk like JE pistons w Pistal rings design.
Anyone has any experience of FbF pistons?

Fitted hi comp FBF pistons to an M750 once. The valve pocket edges protruded and were very sharp so they were smoothed off. The two sets of 92mm J&E hi comps I've fitted were not like that iirc.

I went ahead and ordered a set for a 750 conversion on a 620.  The packaging indicates they are made by wiseco but must be a custom order for fbf because wiseco does not list any Ducati part numbers.

Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the build. I have a buddy planning to do the same so I might ask for tips.

from what I remember of my build, this was the case. Made by Wiseco, for FbF.
