I haven't checked on the '86 valve springs (I own an '84) but I did check with several large Honda parts dealers both here in the states and...
+1 I am looking forward to reading about what you find out. A side by side comparison could be just the ticket here - my compliments to Moose...
Great, thanks for checking.
Thank you Jamie. I will give it a try. On the intel front - any chance you have a photo, in the archives, of this enigmatic exhaust?
The '84 NSR500...what an amazing bike! [IMG] [IMG]
