yes Wosner, but you need to buy 4 at $200 a pop ;)

And you will need to send them either cad drawings or a piston to copy.

Contact wosner online via online enquiry.

If its for the kr there are other piston options mate, just speak to people with experience with KRs. There are plenty of options

all you need is

-matching bore size (or larger if you want to bore it out and replate)
-matching piston pin size (or adapt it with different small end bearings
-matching skirt length (or longer) this is usually done by simple finding a bike with the same stroke or longer
-same compression height (taller will require you to make a spacer plate to go under cylinder, shorter will require you to machine the cylinder base.

check if your piston is worn, if the piston is OK I would consider just buying rings from YAHOO JAPAN auctions and putting them in your current pistons

you're better off doing a compression test to check the rings, pill the cylinder off and inspect the piston and bore.

If everything is OK (piston isnt worn/damaged), clean everything thoroughly, install new small end bearings and put it back together!
