They must have changed the date, I believe it was originally in late January, maybe they also consolidated the summer motorcycle auction.

The oil tank is new freshly painted ( BOLDER MARBLE MOTOR'S FLAMBOYANT GREEN ).

As far as how many bikes are pictured I didn't take that long to look.

I think maybe the shots are taken over time? The sunlight makes the paint look different here and there, and it looks like the clutch cable has been replaced at one point? The chain guard is black in some shots, and silver in the others. Good eye.
And really, isn't it a 69? Placement of the switch is the dead give away there, even without the obvious color of green.

Chain guard is black in some pics, silver in others;
tail light bracket black in some, silver in others;
seat latch black in some, bare metal in others;
175 sticker on oil tank is placed differently on various pictures...

Hard to know what you're buying here, no longer trustworthy when I see such discrepancies in the photos.

So 1969's were orange, then? What about the low-mount switch? When did that go to the steering head location? 1971?
