According to partzilla's fitment chart, they do.
Many body parts do.
the major differences are the engine cc, the 700 radiator is smaller, sissy bar is smaller, forks are 37mm instead of 39mm. and a few other trinkets.

Thank you for the parts. The condition was well beyond expectation. Progress is moving along. We got the enginf and frame assemply on the bench and stripped down. Polishing parts as we go. Some require more work than others. Have the nightmare harness removed. The tins are stripped down to metal. Battery box has taken apart and re shaped and is now useable again. And a few more pics. No rebuild thread is complete without pics.
