  • 1. There's no such thing as a true '69 -- these were manufactured from '61 to '67, but some would've been registered (titled?) in '68. Am I right, Ed?
    2. It's got a speedo/tacho used on models pre '66
    3. The seat is pre '67
    4. Front forks do confirm it as a '67 model
Also, we can't see the tail light; '67s had a larger tail light than previous models (see pics). But, at the price, who cares?! Exhaust systems are expensive, but the end result will probably be worth the money & effort.
