    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Compatible engines?

Hey all-

A friend of mine is parting out his '82 550 (don't know if it's the L or M). I have a '77 550B.

I'm just wondering if it's worth buying the engine/carbs from him as a backup for mine. Are they using the same engines or were there enough modifications between the years that they are completely separate beasts?

Sorry if similar a question has been asked before....I searched the forum but couldn't find anything on it!

Thanks!
 
The crankcase part numbers are the same for both 82 models & your 77. The Engine shold fit.
The carbs are different. Try & get them as well. If it's an L model the air cleaner should fit. (you'll need an air cleaner) The M model has a different air cleaner part number.

Hey neighbor, keep an eye on the Meetingplace forum. We New England riders have the most organized rides per season than anywhere in the country. Don't let those Texans make you think otherwise! :twisted:
