You will need to go USA for one most likely. I don't even think there 5 left in Aus The real 74 models are not that great as the primary ratio's are wrong and there a beast to ride. You can retro fit 76/77 crank and drive which fixes it.
Current bikes. KTM MC 250 77 Husky CR 360 77, Husky 82 420 Auto Bitsa XR 200 project. Dont need a pickle just need to ride my motorcickle

I have one, but not willing to part with it. Currently have 250 engine in the chassis, as engine requires top end rebuild.
Will change motor over when i finish my 250 rolling chassis.
Was 5 imported from what Kirkpatrick stated. Doubt you will find one here, i did however find another motor years ago from WA, but in a sad state.
I enjoy riding mine...just a typical punishing pre 75 big bore.
