An unusual cl/cb72 cylinder block

A friend stopped by wanting me to measure his 250 bores: they were about 2.207" or 56mm. The stock bore is 54mm. I thought over bores on these were only 1mm o/s or 55mm.
Can anyone offer info on this?

I have a cb72 bored 3mm over. you can buy pistons all day long up to 4-5mm over. the liners get a little thin up there but it's doable.

Hi Dick, I built an engine with a 2mm overbore. I believe the pistons were CB250. (56mm). Hope this helps.

Thanks. I did see a set of 3mm over on e-bay - a 276cc kit, Japanese mfr.
