Re: vara/storm mate up
Yes, the crankcases are identical.
That's why you can drop a set of Storm gear shafts into five-speed Vara case set (the early ones were 5 speed), or swap the cams and pistons.
If you change the exhausts as well, they will need custom mounts as the can mounting points are different.
But the mounting points for the engine to frame are the same.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Or was it your accent and you fancied a ride-out with a Varadero owner?
