I recently purchased OEM/NOS sets of standard rings for my GPz750 and your price of $25/set is better than what I paid ($32/set). I am unaware of any aftermarket standard rings but you might be able to get Hastings manufacturing to craft some for the 750 if you have all the dimensions.

I've got a KZ750E and rings cost $50/piston. You got it good.
