Ok, well you certainly triggered me to do some more research before I tell the machinist what bore diameter I want.

Yes, that's the best thing to do. Mistakes can be very annoying and even more very expensive.

Baked this cake yesterday. It came out all black...
Got a response from Australia that there is no specific clearance advice. The pistons are of the same material as standard.
I dropped the kit off at a machinist this morning. He was confident he'd deliver a good fit based on the Honda specs.
Keen to see the result 8)
Trigger:
If you bore to Honda spec (0.02000 to 0.02032 mm ) without using Honda grade alloy pistons, they will seize and do a lot of damage.
The supplier has said, that they are the same material and what that means, is they are alloy ??? You need to know the grade of alloy.
Andych:
That 466 Big Bore kit is the same as the one that Cruising Image offer... not that it means the pistons come from the same factory as the standard oversize pistons from Cruising Image, however I would err on the side of caution and consider that you use the tolerances mentioned previously by Trigger or Julie as to when they use Cruising Image pitons.
On that bore size the sleeves will be thin so I would be wary of having the clearances as tight as Original Honda....
I have the same kit but am no where near ready to have anything bored.. its not even pulled apart yet so I am interested to see how this all goes.
