Fritz Thanks for getting back to me,,the vintage guys say the 741/2'?? is a desired model for vintage,,but the 75 is not,,Actually it isnt a big deal anyway to...
The reason they are desireable is that they were rare. The '75 frame is class-legal as a substitute frame for the 74.5 in AHRMA when used with the 74 external...

Buddy, I'll ask Eric about your silencer next time I talk to him. I've been waiting on some Ohlins piggy backs for a lot longer than that. I've received alot...
Hi Tommy, Eric said he had all the parts in stock to build the shocks..but either way a phone call or an answer to a fax from him would be the correct way to...

Chris, You must be one of the LUCKY ones..as Eric told my friend not to email him that he never checks his emails to either call or fax him..What does him...
Tommy, I'm not someone who might buy a part...I'm trying to find out if he has what I need so I can purchase it..and my friend has already given him his credit...
Yes, external on the 74.5, internal on the 75. Other than that, the swingarm was about the only difference. 75.5 brought the change from 4 speed to 5 speed ...
I have frame 395441 and it is still a 74.5 frame. I saw frame number 395649 and I think it was still a 74.5. I don't know where the '75 frames stated coming...

Ulrich noted that his lists from Germany really don't specify the sequence where it starts or ends for the 74.5...which makes it tough to actually identify by...
What phone number are you guys calling?..I called (909) 947-1121 again this morning at 9:30am PST and all I got was the answering service with the same old...
