Charles,
Rings can be gotten from Hastings.

My understanding is that Hastings now requires you to purchase from a Dealer.
Rings are in stock in all available sizes on the Honda 600 website.

I always found it better to have the machine shop that I used to fit the pistons to the cylinders order the rings.  They will correctly size them up, and if necessary order over sized rings and grind them to fit.  They will insure the ring gap and land surfaces are correct.  More importantly they will measure the pistons to the cylinder bore, check for clearances and any scoring or seizing your used pistons may have.  Most machine shops will inspect your used parts and tell you if they are serviceable.  Piston rings need to fit, it's not like buying a shirt off the shelf.  And, you want your engine to run correctly the first time and not have to pull it apart because something was missed.
