    How to fit a sportbike front end to a xs650 frame?

    As has been said, you can just about fit anything to anything. Currently I'm building a road special, Suzuki GS750 frame Yamaha Thundercat engine Suzuki Bandit wheels Radiator + oil cooler off Yam FZR1000. This involves some fairly major frame surgery to get the carbs to fit.

    Crankshaft woodruff key.

    Just rebuilding my xs (1980) and I need a new woodruff key, the one that locates the generator on the crank. Apparently this isn't available from Yamaha now but i'm assuming that another bike/model would fit. Any ideas ? If all else fails, I'll have to make one.

    Piston Circlips Up or down?

    Doesn't matter. The important thing is not to have the gaps in the same place, so, have the gap on 1 clip at say 6 o clock and at the other end 3 o clock.
