Alternative 550 engine
« on: January 16, 2017, 07:12:38 PM »
Hi...I think my bike is a 76 f1 USA import.

I have the chance of a second engine to use or to use as spares for the right money.
It's a 78 k3 ?

Will it fit.
Will bits be mostly interchangeable

Thanks in advance

Yes, it will fit, and yes, most parts are interchangeable
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

But the k3 carbs are crap, better to use the earlier ones!
