Hi Pedro,
welcome to the forum! If I'm not completely wrong, these are Henry Abe pistons. I do have a spec sheet for those somewhere, just give me a few days and I'll dig it up for you.
P.S. Like your signature!  |

Errata corrige, piston's bore is 67mm.
I checked and honda cbr600 (F and RR) yamaha R6 suzuki 600 have this bore. Do you think that I can use ring set of some of this bike? |

Oh yes, I recognize these pistons - these are Henry Abe's. They are cast, a bit heavy, but otherwise ok, they have been widely used in the '70s and '80s. The valve pockets are not too deep - depending on your cam, you will probably have to make them a bit deeper. I will dig out the spec sheet I have from Henry Abe and post it here.
As to the rings, you will have to check if they have the same height than the original ones. Maybe you are lucky...
I will really try to make it to the Honda4Fest this year! Last year I have been on my way to Ceriglio, but soon after Munich, my front tire died and I had to hobble back, unfortunately. |

Argh - I only have the spec sheet as .pdf file, which I cannot post here (reminds me that I wanted to upgrade the forum to allow for attachments  ).
I'll email them to you instead  |

YOU HAVE TO DO Honda4Fest this year!!! I'm so sorry for the last year, I hope that this year your front tire will be good. So if you whant-can you can come one or two day on Iseo lake, so, on friday morning we will start all together (there will be here some my four German friends) and go to Cereglio. |

No news about rings... 
I don't know where I can find them.
Honda cb360 twin's parts are imppossible to find, probably Kawasaki z1 900 (oversize +1mm) are good, but the bigest problem is to find datas about them ( I need to know the Thickness.
Mai piston Thickness are:
first ring: 1.5mm
second ring: 1.5mm
Third (oil): 2.8mm
So if you have some idea or you knoe some solutions... |

That's some good browsing! I looked around stateside but found nothing in the short time I spent. Congrats! It always feels good to find parts, almost as good as riding. |
