Why would an 850 Roadster with 4/74 on the plate have matching numbers (motor and frame) 235,XXX? Weren't the 200,000 numbers used for 750s?

Yellow_Cad said:It has nine fins when counted at the back side of the jug. Also, the number cast into the jug is 063850. Any other thoughts?

Yellow_Cad said:L.A.B. when you say that the 80mm question could be answered further are you thinking that the number of fins does not answer the lenght of stroke question positively?
Yellow_Cad said:Is there any way to positively answer the stroke question without tearing down the motor?
L.A.B. said:But the chances are this is just an odd numbered 850, -so I don't want to get your hopes up over nothing.
