[QUOTE="CTKing, post: 122947, member: 8710"] I already know the pictures aren't the best and that I should not use a cell phone. Please pick them apart as I know you guys will. Please note the original rubber on the brake lever and the color. Also the black inspection mark on the bolt holding the tail light assembly on. Hopefully you guys can see the inspection marks on the rims also. Notice the coloring inside the battery box and the inside of the frame, it shows how they didn't put as much effort into painting areas that would not be seen. And hopefully you will agree that their is no DOT marking on the tires. According to what I read DOT stamps were started in the late 60's and not fully implemented until about 1971.Infact my friends early silver tag with trail wings has no marking either. In regard to the red stripe on the throttle cable above the carb, I believe you are incorrect about when they started putting them on. I was under the impression that was done closer to 1971 but I also could be wrong just going off the data and pics I've seen. I know looking at all the pics of my bikes none of the early ones had it. The first bike I saw it on was my 1971 H. Please look at the motor and carb also. Though these are very clean they due show some light signs of patina. So guys please have at it but try not to beat me up to bad. [/QUOTE]
