I got the bike through a trade -- the details are a bit murky now but, as I recall, it involved a 500cc BSA, a minibike, a floor shift conversion kit, and a chevy 4-barrel manifold. No cash changed hands, but there were 3 people involved in the trades.
The bike had a six- or eight-inch extended front end, because that's what we did in the early '70s. Any pictures I might have had are long gone...
AND -- apologies as we have certainly strayed from the original intent of this thread.
Ah hell no... Keep it going. I am enjoying the campfire tales.
