does anybody here have a dependable source for piston rings? I have a 74 CB360, ,I've looked around ebay, but I don't trust the vendor's descriptions. I have a set of standard sized pistons (67mm) and want new rings for them while the engine is torn down. any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

From user dorT500, These peole were very helpful for me recently.

Another overseas, but show the model (from dorT500 as well).

Here's the people I got my last set of CB rings from (wasn't a 360, but they do list the 360)

And lastly, I've had a few people recommend these people (after I'd already ordered, but at least 4 ppl suggested them)

if you have a well established dealer nearby-you may be surprized what they may have still laying around in stock..

well, I recently worked for a honda dealer, and me and my parts buddy discovered that from honda, the rings are simply "discontinued" end of story, but i did find the slide diaphragms are still in use on other models and got brand new ones for my carbs!

OK, I did find STD size rings at my local dealer, at the time i made my purchase, there were about 80 sets of STD size ring sets available.
