Will it fit without modding the frame? The XL lump is a wee bit taller.

Yes you can fit a 600 barrel but you need the right one. I believe you can also use the XBR head ** don't panic if you find a crack from the plug hole to one of the valve seats- most XBR's have it and it doesn't seem to have any effect.

If you put 'XL600 barrel' in the site search it will bring up a number of threads on the subject.
