    There’s no frame or engine numbers I am told. Right hand gear selection, and a couple of frame sections look different from the norm ?

    My 2 cents -

    Engine: 360cc - (8 fins and squared front engine mount). Bing replaced with Mikuni.

    Frame: MJ or MK frame (without the swingarm pivot support tabs, probably MJ) that has rear modified to replicate ML frame. Case protector tubes added to front lower frame. Seems to be missing rear brake pedal and brake stay.

    Front Forks: Picture is dark, but it looks like leading axle forks from a 78 or later.

    Right Shift: Early 'Big Clutch' (72 / 73) engines had the option to add a shaft to the chain cover to enable right side shifting. To remove just take the chain cover off and take out the short (2 / 3") shaft from side cover. Nothing to be done to center cases.

    Tank: Looks like under left side has been modified to clear pipe.

    Interesting bike - many mods - curious how it rides.
