all used to remove the Baffles for extra noise. Good old Days!!!

in my humble opinion i thought new 1976 baja,s had pedals as for the fizz or ap also in my humble opinion, the fs1e was by far the more common bike to have but the ap was deffinitely a better quality ped build wise although not as common in the day due to the fact they were 2 years late in putting them on the market and the fizz had already got its rightful place at the top of almost every teenagers wish list

It had to have pedals to be street legal back in the day so I am sure yours would have had them too! ;)

:? :? :evil: err Mr editing writes......... I do believe my candy GOLD has been changed to candy ORANGE.......... on this thread.

In our taxation area they stated on the V5 GOLD.

and I have just looked on V5 or current 73ss...... GOLD

you could have got away with it if you had not used CAPITALS :lol:

It is a bit of a pet hate of mine , people calling the paint colour Candy Gold :twisted:

You can put change the colour to whatever you like on a V5, still doesn't make it right though :x

If you check the early parts lists you will see it referred to by its correct name of "Candy Orange" on the tinware parts ;) 8-) :roll: :D
