Differences between model years
« on: September 18, 2006, 07:17:57 AM »
In specific, from 76 to the 77/78 models.

I search the FAQ, old and new sites, and could not find a lot although I know it's been discussed. I'd have thought it would be on the FAQ section.

I have a 76 and am looking at adding a 77 ( I think that's what it is) for like $400. It's a runner that just needs carbs cleaned and maybe tires and seat cover. I want to mount a side car on it.

I thought the carbs, exhaust spigots, and maybe valve sizes were different, along with gas tanks and side covers etc.

I know I need a side cover for hte bike and wonder if I'm limited to finding a 77/78 cover.

Any help or site links would be appreciated.

F or K model? 400/550/750? Makes a difference in the answers you'll get.
