Thanks everyone. It sounds like I've got an early 850T bottom end. Ron
Komoroski mentioned checking for a 2 leading shoe rear end. Would a such
a brake set up have two brake arms? This bike has one. I have not yet
pulled the rear wheel. Are there any other external features to look for on
the tranny, drive shaft, or rear differential that would identify them as Eldorado
or later model components?
How does having a later model motor in the bike effect resale value? Are
there mechanical concerns about such a set up? Are there advantages
(alternator vs. generator? parts availability?)? Thanks again and have a
great weekend.
