R65 cylinders interchangeable?
« on: September 14, 2011, 03:26:09 PM »
Just wondering if Left and Right cylinders are side specific or they are  same with no difference.  I tried looking at Max and Motobins but they don't list left or right separately. Thanks

I believe that the cylinder barrels are the same.  Of course, the cylinder heads and many of the attached parts are left/right handed.
