XN 85 Turbo 1983 barrels

[tango]

Does anybody know whether the barrels on the 650 Turbo are the same as the standard 650's of the 1983 era? several of my fins are broken and I need to do a good restoration. rare bike - but maybe somebody knows?

well they have different part #'s (maybe colour) the xn85 had heftier cylinder studs, but had the same bore. sorry thats all i got.The xn85 while looking like a gs650 motor had different cases (because they changed to plain bearings as opposed to roller bearings because of the turbo)
here's a good site

i was thinking, why don't you check the part#s on the base and head gaskets and compare to a plain gs650?? That would give you a good idea.
