i had a 79 lowrider,rode it for 13 years no problems and my brother has been riding it since. i know no one will believe me but the push rod tube covers had never been off the motor. no trans work either except for a throw out bearing that it didn't really need. it's getting tired now using alittle oil and smokes alittle when it really hot outside, but what a good engine and trans this has been. on a side note here, the same day i bought this bike an buddy of mine bought one too. he had more problems with that thing,sticking valve guides several times over the years. just never know. i wish i could document the miles on the drivetrain of this bike. it's already had less problems than any of the new bikes i've owned since.

Hope this does not turn into an AMF bash, I owned three AMF bikes and they were all very good to me. I thought the add was cool at the time and found it in an old scrap book.
