And specifically about fender bosses.

I checked my early '71 Speciale Corsa when I went home last evening. My bike also has the aforementioned fender bosses. It does not have the oil hole on the top of the bottom bracket or drain hole either as Chuck Schmidt referred to on 1970 models in a later post. Anyone out there with a slightly later model with or without these features?
