The kit has no real longevity issues from the use of a single ring. Maintains its compression for many, many hours. No sense adding expense and increased friction when it is not needed. JMO

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Never seen that on a husky 125 or most any other modern 125. No need and probably no room above the ports to do so is my guess. Also why change something that works. These are very long lasting and another ring would make it more expensive and the piston heavier. Not broke, don't fix it. Still EZ to get piles of compression.

Plus the second ring doesn't really help in actual performance except on a 4t where it helps wipe the cylinder of engine oil and creates a low pressure area below the top ring. It might help with the leak-down readings but doesn't add to performance like you think it would. I think a 2nd ring would add friction and wear to the cylinder without a measurable gain in HP so why do it.
