Man of few words isn't he. Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this last time?

I thought the same last time it was listed, it has 650 footrest bracket and no rear footrest frame loop, and complete 650 front end.

So is it a 650 with 550 engine and other parts, or is it a 550 with 650 parts added?
