Thanks Everybody for all the great Info on my 350/700r questions. It seems
that
all of you agree on 88 or later 700r . Now I need to know how can I figure
out
what year the 700r was made. Is the year built part of the serial number ?
If
not is their a link I can go to with the serial number and find out?
I would also like to know if there is a link to find out the same Info on
the
engine. A guy I know told me the engine may not be a 350 . He said it could
be a
305 . Is there any way to tell buy just looking at the engine? Or do I need
to
use the serial number?
Thanks in Advance
George
