I have a 1980 XS850SG. I'm trying to find standard piston rings, and also looking for a complete engine gasket set. If anyone has any ideas where I can get those, please let me know. Thanks!!

Hi Bud,
I'm told the 850 uses the same rings as the 1100.
Seems standard rings are unfindable.

Yes, that is true. I just sold the set of rings I had. You can do the same thing that some folks do here and get the 1st oversize ones and file the ends down.
