The odd-ball of the lot. I found out they use a one year only cylinder which uses the older 900cc bolt pattern making them punchable to only 30 over. Any more and the bolt holes buldge. The bolt patern was change mid 73. A lot of people also feel that the right side shifter is confusing. Other than those two items it´s pretty much a decent ride. I personally have one and love it.

I am looking for a countershaft low gear if anyone happens to know where one is.
