Just dug out of the pile a new set of Genuine Honda 350F rings, and they have a "T" and the oversize stamped on exactly the same as Cruzin. I guess the Genuine's I have are fake..... They mike up exactly the same size as well, and they look the same.

I can't imagine Riken making 'to spec' piston rings for Honda and sub standard rings for every other supplier that sells them as Riken, including Cruzinimage. Now, I can understand a pattern part maker making parts that look identical and selling them as such and there is no way we will ever really know if what we are buying really is 'Genuine' or not. It also doesn't mean that the more we pay, the more chance of the product being truly 'Genuine'. Those days are long gone. Agree with Nigel though, could be a sub standard batch.Edit...as an example we buy OEM indicator stems direct from the same supplier that Honda buy them from in Malaysia. Honda put them in Honda bags with a part number and then charge $$$$$$ more. They all come off the same production line.
I've most of a set of 350/4 carburettors if it helps - some parts (I can't remember which)) were removed from one or more of them long ago, however they are substantially complete with all linkages, springs etc. in place.If you need them, let me know.
