Does it have the breather tower to the rear of the upper cranckcase? Pics of the engine and frame number when you get a chance. We can / will tell you what year it is, but we need more info and pics.

I will take pics of engine and mirrors this afternoon. I think mirrors are separate from levers if that is what you are asking. Bike still has license tag on it from 1970. Not many miles. I know the family that it belonged to and they say its been parked since. I thik someone stole breather...........and im missing battery door, i think it is. otherwise, seems most everything is there. You have no idea how much i apprecitate your help. Love this ole bike. I have a wiring issue posted as well. seems i forgot where some of the wire colors go.........just 2 male and two female at the coil and brake harness. Bud, thanks again. I will post pics this afternoon. Thanks again. JJ

JJ,

They would have had to use a hacksaw to steal the breather tower, as is part of the upper engine case! Look forward to the pics!

Interesting.

Mirror mounts seperate from lever mounts.

Breather tower at back of crankcase.

All good signs of early bike.

Take care to preserve those early details.
