What are the differences with the R5 and RD350 frames?

The only things I noticed when moving my R5 onto an RD frame were:
- RD has holes drilled in the front gusset for reflectors.  R5 did not.
- Spacing to mount the oil tank filler is different by a few mm, so I used one bolt instead of two

Everything else appeared the same.

only other diff i can think of is rd frames have threaded lug on lower frame tube for muffler mount, where r5 frame does not since they use 1 pc pipes. .

Thanks for the info! I just found a titled R5 frame and engine cases and was hoping everything will swap over with RD350 parts.

it will . like said the only 'issue' you might have if you are running stock pipes, but even that isn't a big deal. otherwise no functional or mounting differences.  :gentleman:
