Z1000 J1 Piston options

I need to get a Z1000 J1 bored out and wandered what options there are around piston kits and sources.
The bores on this bike are 69.85mm which doesn't match the first OS in the manual for an 81 bike. But do recall lots of issues with them burning oil so maybe someone's set these bores up on the tight side for first OS but they would ave had to gapped the rings too.

Does anyone have a J1 who can advise?

Cheers Mike

Go to Joe hooper at pitstop performance .usa.
You will get an MTC piston kit for under £400 delivered.
Check out his ebay shop but don't buy off there. do it direct from his web site via email (Pm me if you want to know why).
