I'm drooling over the the 8 dollar saddle bags.....Of course 8 bucks was a lotta cash back then. I can remember in 1970 being able to come up with a dime to buy a candy bar at the store, but could not scrape up 4 more pennies to buy the 14 cent Hostess Fruit Pie that I really wanted.....
I would think that getting a direct drive model going would be a pain in the but if it had a trailer being pulled behind.
