Don't know if this will be helpful or not, but here goes. I subscribe to Motorcycle Classics magazine, and was reading the resource section for an article about restoring the rare 1983 year only, Honda CB 1100. In that source section was a website called Hondarestoration.com, and in that site was another reference to a parts site called cmsml.com. Looks like it may have almost everything I need mechanically for my CB 650 if I need it. http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb650sc-1984-nighthawk-650-usa_model7227/partslist/?q=piston+rings
