Wow its been a while... I haven't worked on my bike since this time last year... between winter snow and my summer internship, I haven't had time.
Anyways, I need a new set of rings for each of the pistons on my 75' xs650b. I checked a few online places like www.mikesxs.com, but they only have oversized rings. I went to a dealership and nearly had a heart-attack at the price of rings per piston.
Does anyone have a good resource for stock-sized rings? Thanks all. I am looking forward to rejoining the community now that I am going to have time for my bike again.

*EDIT* Also, does anyone know where I can find a cover for the cam chain tensioner? It was made of pewter and fell apart. I pieced it together with JB Weld... but who knows how long that will last. I have looked all over and every one I found in salvage yards was busted up. Thanks again!

Have you checked www.650central.com? They list the standard size for the 447 motors. $35 a set.
