Hi Roy,

Had look in my '66 to '68 Workshop Manual.
It looks like all the 650s had a 1 1/2" inlet port with the 500s having 1 5/16" .
The differences seem to be in the manifolds and carb sizes for the Thunderbolt and Royal Star.
The valves appear to be same for the 650s and slightly smaller for the 500s.

Dave.
