Answer
Tim, I think that the old HAP JONES company offered a bunch of odd overbore pistons like that.

Honda only went for the std,.25, .50, .75, 1.00 sizes from the factory. I randomly see them on eBay sometimes.

The only other possibility to explore would be to see if the CB750 SOHC piston rings are the same width. CB750s are 61mm standard bores, so the full 1mm oversize would be 62mm.
