Cyclepartsnation my big box dealer store here in Kalamazoo shows OEM Suzuki might still be available for $28.90 a set per piston. I would be looking for Japan,German etc. made and not China if I went aftermarket.

Also: check at CruisinImage.com, he sells pistons and rings for these 1970-1990 bikes.
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.
