You can not use over bore rings in a stock cylinder. When you go to the next size piston and rings, say 25 overbore, you have to match the rings to the pistons and have your cylinders bored out so they fit. If you take first over pistons and rings and try to jam them in a stock bore you will get them stuck and then you'll be looking at alot more money spent on a machine shop or mechanic getting it out. If your stock bores are not rusted and you said it was froze up? You may get by with having them honed and not bored. But cylinder boring is cheap. Check E-bay as well but I'm almost certain that one of those suppliers I mentioned has stock rings. How are you pistons? If they are in bad shape do you really want to spend all that time and effort to put them back in the bike. Buy new ones and be done with it.
