Yep, that's the '74 (purple) and '75 (orange). I've done a TON of mods to both the engine and carburetors (and exhaust). This is all of double the HP of a stock bike.
Mine is actually a '74, but I wasn't crazy about the purple. The orange I painted it in is a custom shade we came up with at the paint shop mixing in Corvette yellow with some white and red.
