You probably can't afford that part.

judging from experience and making an educated guess, also following harley nomenclature for parts (XXXXX-XX) I would say "SINGLE-Ds" or "DOUBLE-Ds" maybe.

Actually saw a green 72 at the dealer last night. Looked good in the show room and I am sure it will look great outside in the sun.

I like the 72, but it needs a 3.3 gallon tank, at least.

There's been one at my Shenandoah HD for a while and it always catches my attention when I go in. Even by HD standards, it's beautifully finished bike. It also felt comfortable when I sat on it except for the seat. Having seen your taste in seats, Folkie, I suspect it will be replaced anyway.
