It has the rare aluminum half sprocket. said they hardly rode. Original Plum Crazy paint. The original 1" pleated padded seat. Tab Loc 6" x4" wide 5 Spoke wheels. It is all there and unmolested.

nice find dean,but i am little loss on the gas tank? i thought all spyder models where center filled tanks. that one looks to be all original and has a off set fill. did they come both ways....:shrug:

 

[Mean Dean]

Hi Delray, sorry I could not get back to you sooner my mom was in the hospital all week. They came both ways most of my original Spyders have side fill. All the Toads, Wildgoose's and Vultures small frame were center fill. He changed the large frames in late 77' They were all center fill when Tecumseh went with all center fills to save money on two tanks. The bend in the frame is what he changed heading to the fork.
