Moderator Airhead Posted December 16, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 16, 2016 that's the one for 78 and 79 bikes with the round section swingarm, but really if it's a basket case you need to see what frame you've got to be sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted December 17, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yes, if your building a basket case up buying parts from various places to get a complete bike unless your really bothered the later spec is the one to go for as parts will be relatively easier to find as it was made in greater numbers. Secondly, Y2k? Huh. The chassis numbers for 175's with a single shock start 2K4 its the numbers after that tell you the model code for parts:- -000101 onwards are 2K4 (1978) -010101 onwards are 2X2 (78-79) and similar (near identical) to the 2K4 both having the round sw arm and the above oil tank. -020101 onwards are 4J4 (80-84ish) look the same excepting the now square sw arm and a different rear shock. More importantly the rear mudguard section at the heart of the bike mounting the air filter, battery, voltage reg (moved on the 4J4) and the oil tank is different. The ignition also has a different stator and cdi with an extra wire in the loom.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcow007 Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Sorry my mistake, I meant mine is a 2K4. Balls, being that mine is the later box section swingarm, would that mean the oil reservoir isn't for mine. Oil tanks seem to be like hens teeth, why are they so rare? I dont think I have actually seen any other type other then the one i just bought Although there seems to be a few bits n' bobs in Germany for the later bikes (2K4) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
