Tim,

I think that around that time the factory was likely using up whatever parts
they had in the bins.

What style tank does your 13xxx bike have? Mine came with a Ambo tank but I
am not sure if that was original or not. I received the bike as an
unfinished resto project. All the 12xxx bikes I have seen though have had
700 style tanks.

Regards...Ian

The first Ambos were actually 700's with 750 cylinders. They are denoted
with serial numbers that have an "A" in front of a five digit number.

Actually, it isn't even that clear. My 69 Ambo is a 13XXX serial number,
but is wired like a V700 for the most part.
