Opinions wanted
« on: March 18, 2012, 10:11:57 PM »
I have a chance to pick up a pretty complete(IIRC) F2 or F3...I have heard the carb holders are impossible to find and I need the airbox, are there other deterents to buying a 77 or 78F bike.... What about the heads/valves I know they are different but I can still get parts I suppose..I really haven't dealt with the later models just looking for some input...If there is a thread on this already point it out to me....

More HP, the story is the valve guides may wear sooner than other models. Once they are replaced with better ones, problem solved. there has been a lot of discussion not sure where to look though. Personally, I like them.
