If the VM29's are to big for the 650, why would anyone do it? It has pods and a 4-1 exhaust. Are there any tell tale signs I can look for that would give away engine modifications? I stripped the paint of the tank, it has some bondo and a few dents. Other then that it looks similar to the stock D1 pictures.
Thanks!

Broken Housing
I found a replacement ... the vent is on the wrong side but I should be able to deal with that.
Here's the VIN on the forks.

The p.o. probably needed a set of carbs and you used to be able to get used 29's for around $100 or $150......
