connecting rod question.... rebuilding a XR600

[MB165]

I am rebuilding my 1987 Honda XR600. The guy doing the rod asked if i rode it on the road. It is dual sported so yes, it sees road use....he wont sell me the rod he has, as it says off road use only. I looked up parts for a XL600 and they are different parts, both NLA from Honda of course.

so what is he worried about liability with sustained high speed use??

I can't imagine that some street use would overwhelm the XR-specific rod. This might be a good question to pose on thumpertalk.com.

Interesting but dunno if there is a difference.

For the ultimate rod for it, check this.
