550 Rings for less than $33.00 per piston??
« on: March 06, 2007, 03:47:19 pm »
any cheaper sources than Honda out there??  $33.00 per piston is hurting me emotionally...
I have checked the FAQ'S where to buy, and can't seem to find any alternatives...

You'll have to bite the bullet. I found some ring sets on ebay for my 750 at $80/set. Don't know if it's the case with 550s but on older 750s the oil ring is one piece. It's worth to check if three piece rings are available.

You might try Hastings, one of the best ring manufacturers out there.  They list rings for CB750, might have to call for price.
