As far as I know, yes. Only the clutch and barrels and heads and cool factor are different, not the mounting points.

Some are longer and some are higher compression - can't remember which way round it is.

An SP will give more donk for your dollar......apparently.

SP barrels are taller than R.

SP heads have a smaller volume than R.

SP's have a much noisier clutch than the R.

Ere, you wanna put some oil in that Mister.

are the barrels etc interchangable?

Is that the same for the se? and how do you tell the diffrence? and what mick says will they swap around?

MMM !!!

SE are as per R I think. Only the clutch changed.

You can swap them around, as all heads bolt to all barrels and all barrels bolt to all cases, but beware of fitting SP heads on R barrels as it will up the compression and cause problems unless you tune the motor to suit.

All heads & barrels are interchangeable for any particular model, but make sure you don't mix heads and barrels of different types, ie. "R" head on an "SE/SP" barrel.

Heads and barrels are identified by "H" or "L" castings in them. Use either a KV3L head with a KV3L barrel, or a KV3H head with a KV3H barrel, and you won't go wrong.

You'll have all the bits soon... a little detective work and you'll know what's what. It's not rocket science!!

Ah! I only asked becasue i have the se (well now an R with se suspension) up for sale and if she dosent sell i might strip her down and sell all the bits but keep some spares for me.....always good to have spare barrels or i could fix the last few bits and have 2 21's

bummer i was planning on doing the hrc front head conversion on the cheap taking the rear head off the r and putting it on the sp.

looks like i'll have to leave it as is for now
