Hastings says select manufacturer, but I don't know manufacturer.

:unsure: SK might indicate a Wiseco piston. :unsure:
Other members will have better and more definite advice.

Could contact Z1 Enterprises
www.z1enterprises.com/site-guide.aspx

to ask whether these rings should fit
www.z1enterprises.com/Ring-Set--72mm-XC-...900-KZ1000-4172.aspx

Am wondering if replacing the rings is enough for an engine in bad shape.

Good Fortune! :)

Along with the Diameter, the thickness of the rings, both compression and the oil ring. That will be whats needed. They just might be stock pistons from the photo's.

Those old fat 72mm rings might be Honda GL1000 Goldwing
