HELP - I NEED 0.5mm o/s RINGS FOR MY GS550B

[Guest]

Is there anyone out there that has or can help me locate a set of 0.5mm O/S piston rings for my GS550B pistons. I have enquired through my local and very helpful Suzuki dealer here in Australia and he has told me they are discontinued. He located 1 set for 1 piston for $70.

Can someone help me out. I am getting desperate and I don't want to put old rings back in my motor.

Saw this on e-bay - don't know anything about him, but perhaps you might find something through here.

I've got the word out at a few sites. Will let you know.

How about four sets for $33 US Dollars? Ad states he ships worldwide.

Thanks guys. ALL OF YOU. This site is so great. I thought I had thoroughly checked EBAY out and you guys come up with these ones I couldn't find. Nessism I have purchased the rings from MRSSUPERDEAL, do you think that is for 4 sets of rings (4 pistons) or only for 1 piston. Thanks CHEF for putting the word out on other sites, keep looking for me until I'm sure that I have four sets for all pistons.

Mike thanks for you input, I will put a bid in on this item as well. He has one set of the 0.5mm rings it looks like. I will purchase the whole job lot if I can get it at the right price. Might be able to help someone else out one day.

Sorry. A very tasteless joke.
