Doable, but, you may need to fit 650 transmission cover and clutch cover and 650 gearbox if you have used the unitrack engine. Clutch release is on clutch cover where as on 650 it is in the lh side of engine and the clutch pushrod runs thru the middle of the gearbox shaft. Of course you would also n...

Downpipe paint treatment

Sure I read on here somebody applying ceramic or vht paint to the inside of new downpipes to stop chrome discolouration.
