  • Nice Craiglist find Michigan

    looks to be a standard with a special tank but looks really nice. Any out of towners interested I would be willing to go look at it.

    I'm thinking the round headlight, signals, and front axle configuration point towards it being a Special, which would agree with the tank shape.

      Hi Guys,

      17" wheel, standard type seat and panels, low-line footpeg plates, square clocks all tend to suggest a Standard with Special parts. AFAIK, Ally peg mounts do not interchange between the frames.

        It's a mix of parts for sure ... The whole front end is off a special, Gauges are standard, Handle bars look after market, Foot peg supports appear Special, Seat is standard, Plastic body side covers are standard, tanks is special.
        Given that the seat and "hang on" style body side covers are standard I would guess that the frame is from a standard but who knows for sure .. .It's a good mix of parts from both styles of bike.
