1968.....the best year in my book and the one I'd be looking for. Link front end, first year two speed tranny and the last year of the small speedo, if I got all that correct.

I love and grew up on two strokes but it's one of the reasons I gave the Bearcat to my brother. I want something small and light, but I'm beyond the ring-ding and smoke....and again, I inherited that donor motor from Mrs. 2LZ dad that would go right in a CT frame.

I'll keep my nose to the market. It's bound to get better here in a few weeks after the holiday ebb. Every morning is like a rerun on CL and FBMP here at the moment.
