Default Twin cam piston ring alternatives than OEM?

Hello all again. I'm looking for an alternative to the MoCo's rings. They're stupid pricey. I believe they are made by Mahle, HD part number 21951-11. Does anyone know the Mahle part number? Anyone use the Hastings 2M5299 Moly Ring Set fits 2007-2014 Harley Twin Cam 110 CVO Std Bore?

Hello. . MoCo wants $120 per piston! Surdyke.com slightly less but at $180 for both. Picked up and installed the Hastings.

In look at the Hastings rings they are same in size as OEM, but different in design. First off, top ring non-direction as no "dimple" and no taper.

Second ring is tapered and beveled like oem. Third oil rings are the same.

Any thoughts in #1 ring? I'll attach pics of #1 and #2 rings..

WOW! Price has gone up. It's been close to 10 years since I bought a set of OEM TC rings. Didn't pay anywhere close to that
