My 74 has three holes symetericaly on each side of the swing arm for mounting the rear shocks. I don't know if that's stock or not but if you were to mount the rear shock in the last hole, the back end will lower a good inch to inch and a half without changing shocks

You will not (to my knowledge) find one. In 77 the audio system was a complete unit that mounted inside the fairing...sorta a radio and speaker system in a box. Most were am/fm w/ a cassette player. You still see them come up fron time to time on the flea.
