Hi Trigger, thanks for that, after lots of working out I have managed to find replacement rings as the pistons eneded up being good, just needs honing now...I did however find a bent exhaust valve!. Thanks for the pointers everyone, not sure it's solved just yet!.

Thanks Trigger,
I did do some searching and came up with 70mm as std, problem is the engine builder if he can’t get hold of the pistons he leaves you to find them so I’m kind of doing this homework and he’ll rebore to suit. I will have a look at the pistons to see what size they are as well, the engine code is cb500E XXXXXXX, but I’m hoping that I can getaway with just new rings.....well that is the plan anyway!. I’ll give IMD a call and see what they can do, so thanks for that.

Lovely, thanks for your help Trigger!, I have seen John Oldham might have the rings but like you say I need to check the size of the pistons as they are. There are no markings on them as such ie +0.2 or anything, any idea what the std size piston diameter is and I can go from there, I'm thinking perhaps I could getaway with a hone and new rings as the pistons are pretty good.

Excellent trigger, did you get them from ebay then or do you have any contact details of the chap you used please as I'd like to use someone reputable, thanks again.

Great, thanks so far, I have found from David silver new rings so I'm kind of hoping I can just get it honed perhaps, but ideally I'd like to rebore and fit new pistons and rings.

Afternoon all,
I’m in the process of rebuilding a 1976 cb500t, I’ve found that the bike had only been running on one cylinder and scored up the bore pretty badly so I’m looking for new pistons and rings but my engine builder is having trouble sourcing them, could some one point me in the right direction to a UK supplier if possible please ( not sure if I need to go over size and not checked the bore diameters yet. Thanks for any help.

Hi all thanks for the warm welcome, I'd quite like something like. 500/550/750 early to mid 70's, complete with paperwork, so I can get it to my Dads and share a project with him....we have an empty bike lift that he built, be a shame to to fill it!.
