Ah, most pistons have multiple rings, so what's one less!?!?! Maybe you could make a replacement from an old Slinky?

I would try the people you bought the big bore kit from. Or you could try here.

They are a very ordinary 64mm ring set. Check out various brands, Honda, Suzuki etc and you will find ring sets with the same rings or at least suitable

Someone on the site put in the 64mm Cruzinimage kit available on Ebay and then broke a ring. So they bought the ring set for the same at $56.00 odd dollars and replaced their broken ring. Then another chap on the site did the same thing and was going to buy the replacement rings like the first guy, but then the first guy fixed up the second guy with a set of rings for one piston. I can't remember who was involved with the story but maybe they will chime in here and maybe they can fix you up as well.
