Unique features include no crash bars and folding foot boards, lever to loosen and turn handlebars for compact loading in an airplane, Silencer on the muffler,Cast Iron transmission and idler pulley, breathing tube for carburetor; for driving underwater,"Can't imagine that working out real well", manual belt tensioning apparatus for wet belt, larger fuel tank than standard G models and bobbed rear fender.
