If the damper wasn't stock in '71 it was def. a dealer option. Had the "accordian" type stock on my'70 H1 - I thought the adjustable type came in about '71. Might depend on which market.

Things are moving along, primed the pump using the great drill method, The airboot and all the zink plating turned out great.oil lines and pump are set and will adjust and sinc the carbs, Notice the air cleaner box is not zinked, I will have that done when I take in my next batch of nuts and bolts,forgot it the last trip in :banghead Cant wait to fire it up. :D
