Has anyone ordered custom pistons for the CB550?

Has anyone here ordered custom pistons from a place like JE, or Ross, or Arias for the CB550?

I had Ross make a set of 60mm forged pistons for my race engine. They are full skirt, long pin, heavier than I hoped for but there weren't many manufacturing options available for only four pistons.  Nice pistons none the less.

$116.00 ea. including pins but I sourced my own rings. This was July/09. You get to design whatever you need for dome/ valve pocket, etc.
