You could be right Matthew.
Those headlugs are similar to mine, without the small extra point that are common on the classic post 1970ish Supers like Dale's.

The top headlug does look odd, but maybe it's just the paint??
Shame about the extra brazeons, but not a big deal to remove, at the cost of paint and period correct decals.

------------------------------ *Mighty* thin lugs indeed. My '71 had a similar issue under it's rather "goopy" repaint... But I'm gonna go out on a limb here and disagree with our fearless leader: The lug style, holes on the BB underside and semi-sloping "scalloped" fork crown suggest '68-'70 to me!
