Me, pretty much stayed with the same...got my 65 in October of 70 (still have it...everyone used to give me crap about it being/looking like a garbage barge, and of course the usual...when you gonna chop it routine), had the 52 and a 51, fews years back picked up a 49 EL I am trying to get back to stock configuration. Hopefully have the tins painted by the end of the summmer and have it ready for Fall riding.
