Probably because the monoshock was a pig in '76.

I reckon the bike is twin shock because the frame would have been built for an MX250/360/SC500. The bike looks a bit slapped together as if he's put it together using a spare YZ400 hulk he had laying around. It's still a good buy though. Pity about the exchange rate.

Yes i agree that it's probably a frame built for a '73/'74 model or it would've had more rear suspension travel.

NAr its just a flat track frame converted with some other MX swingarm stuck in it, its got the pick up points on the right side for the master cylinder set up, if it was made as a MX it wouldnt have those parts put on it.  PRobally why it looks all high and weird too im guessing the seat is just fixed on top of the top rail which is why the back looks odd and the swingarm not long enough.
