Steve,
Get ahold of Richard Peck. I'm sure he could help. Not sure how he's doing. But you could try. Seems the xs-83 had the larger rear axle mounts that the engine bolted to.and the xs-85 had the smaller one's. I have an early xs-85 frame that Richard confirmed for me it has the smaller rear axle mounts as shown in the pictures posted. Brad

Steve,,,, actually after talking to him many times..I think his operation was similar to Jerry Solt and SAEs,,,,many changes when ever he wanted...make it better, faster, lighter,,simpler... but he sure is interesting to talk to.... gw
