400.00 for an old pan(61 or 74 CI??)wasn*t 48 the first year for pan? OH yaa remember those days even knew of 200.00 deals.Looked like crap but they still ran.Now a basket or crapper is about 6/7 grand. Alot of them got turned into nice bikes.Never had over 15 inch springer with 3/4 inch rake(old BSA lightningwith rigid frame) but saw a lot of bikes that had a two block turn radius. 24 inch springer what did that have 1 and 1/2 inch of rake?that must pogo*d like crazy. Took my drive test for bike liscence on a 68 rigid frame sporty with 8 over front end back in the 70*s.The old registry inspector just shook his head and said "OH god I hope it has an exhaust system on it." ---------"Why yes sir has a new Alphabet twice pipe setup garanteed to be quieter than stock".Poor guy on the Kawaisake 400 next to me said he couldnt even hear his bike running but I passed.The old Green thumb registry in Plymouth MA on 3A.I*ll bet you wish you still had it as a stock bike!!!!
