That ring is OE for 750LTD's from 80-83,GPZ(non-turbo?)82-85.Spend the Big-Bucks and look for an 810 kit.Nothing beats CC's.
'80 KZ 750 LTD-H
'82 KZ 1100 A-2 Shafty (ex-bagger)

I found the correct rings for the gpz 13008-5046 1 mm instead of the KZ 1.2mm ring package. I dont like boring out my bank that big . These parts are getting to hard to get . And that kit is forged and I ride a lot They don't last! To much piston clearance I don't think 117 bucks each for that 69mm piston is worth it I rather spend it on a mega cycle cam .

Hooo Boy! I'm not going to get involved in this :woohoo:

Except to say, there are a crapload of people on this board that run Wiseco, JE, or MTC forged pistons. :laugh:

Some people got deeper pokets then others . Keep buying american stuff . I been running Arias J&e Ross KB Icon . All good stuff . Do you really think a set of pistons for that price is worth more than what I paid for the bike ?

I'm always curious about how many miles folks put on their bikes; some folks ride an amazing amount. About how many miles are on your bike? Ed
