hi all, i always try to find any other history of a bike or pics,details of this bike so far is.
owner. MR CLIFFORD. L. TUTTLE. bought this bike in japan late 61, when he was stationed there, shippied it back to the usa in 1962, and only rode it for a short time.
Mileage is 3264. when looking at the bike, it dont look like its had a lot of use, the last reg is dated 1965. at owego ny.
does anyone know a MR CLIFFORD TUTTLE of OWEGO . NY. the dealer i had this from says he got it from the last owner, and i have asked him if he can pass any details on, but find dealers dont want the last owners to know they have sold the bike. so here's hopeing this turns something up...

Hi,

Grips seems to be the very hard to get early ones, take care to remove them, the material will be brittle and will tear very quickly. The headlight inners are all original 61 indeed, cables, speedo, cables etc.

Nice story,

Jensen

hi jenson, i was hoping the rear guard was a 61 too, but dont think it is, will be interesting to see what date is on the loom,its still in the usa at the minute, it looks like it was all 61 parts being used up . heres a pic of the reg in 1965, i would think this was the last time it was used. alan
