KZ900 69.25mm two (2) ring pistons - anyone?

I found a set of KZ900 pistons that are 69.25mm and 10.5:1 compression (first set I've ever seen)!
The pistons only have two rings, a compession ring and a oil ring.
The rings I received with the pistons look like their in great condition but I would like to have a spare set.
Anyone ever hear of this piston setup? Any ideas where I might look for a set of rings?
Thanks,
Buzz

I can't remember very well. I think Henry Abe (or whatever) had a single compression ring. I think years ago K&L supply sold some. I'm not sure, but did the YOSH 998cc kit have a single ring, setup?
Is it a 1 peice cast oil ring? or a three peice?

Are they a flat dome, cast piston? Not like the newer style, that fits into the combustion chamber?

You didn't say witch of the two sets (round dome or pop up)
Is it a normal skirt or a slipper style skirt?
