They had a 35th annivesary model up at the local dealer.
Little pricey at 17k, but I always dig that paint scheme.

True that ... also, a non-stock battery box cover ...

I saw the photo in a Paughco catalog (chapter on exhaust) which would explain the duals vice the stock 2-into-1 ....

Just came across it and thought I'd share.

I like your photo too, Gary. Thx.
