Does make me smile when these folks say 'a certain year' but forget (or din't know) that the US got any model the year before we did as the market was so much bigger. Like I said, that pic was on a bike built in August 72 (73 K model) and we only got the J in August 72.
Nemind eh..........

I thought that the smooth fronted one was from a late GT185, but this eBay seller suggests some 550As had them?

If anyone needs either of them for originality, let me know. Best regards, Gary.
