[QUOTE="Bateman147, post: 502296, member: 37509"] [b]More XR/XL questions[/b] Hi - So I've got this '86 XR/XL hybrid going, with a good engine built from the good bits and pieces from both bikes and some other spare parts. I recently got the engine put together and it's running strong with no smoke or piston slap anymore. :-) Since they changed the laws in Washington and I can't get the XR frame street licensed I'm working on making the XL into as much XR as possible. I've already got a dedicated dirt bike, and I want this one to have a license plate on it. It looks to me like I should be able to move the XR front suspension right over to the XL as long as I move the triple clamps and everything. I'll likely have some issues with instrument cluster/key switch mounting, but that doesn't seem insurmountable. Do any of you guys know if the rear suspensions are interchangeable? The XR swingarm looks to be about 2" longer, and the suspension has longer travel but it looks to me like it ought to bolt right in. And it looks like if I switch the kickstands (XR is longer) it all ought to work. Have any of you guys tried this? I realize it'll be a mongrel but it'll be as close as I can easily get to a streetable XR, built from pieces I already have in the shop. Michael [/QUOTE]
