[Charlie Y]

I "streamlined" my bolts by rounding off those nasty sharp corners with the vicegrips. Much better aerodynamics.

Gentlemen, Ladies,( wonder how many Ladies we have on this list ??) I stumbled upon a "pre-96" (enquired about exact year,no feed back yet) complete motor from a wrecked 650, asking price is $325,was $500 . Question is : could this motor be a good candidate for a 685 kit? Or are there any issues with "pre '96 " i.e. thickness of cylinder wall or else ?? Once done (IF) will it be a take down my '05 and replace ? Let me know . Thanks [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
